is there a difference between tracking individual outs on the 3000 versus the stereo outputs? Anyone feel the stereo outs have fatter sound?

i have a Mackie CR1604 - Is it advisable to track through it or is it better to bypass the Mackie and track straight from the MPC into my DAW?

I don't know about the 3000, but the MPC60 sounds A LOT better through individual outs.

The nice thing about using the individual outs through the 1604 (exact same setup as me) is that you can sculpt your sound... Kick more bottom bass on channel strip, hi hats more sizzle and snare more mid snap-crackle. Plus you can compress the channels on the Mackie... Can't do that if you use stereo outs.
