Tracking Out From 3000(8 outs). Linear or Copy Paste to DAW?

Hey guys!
I was wondering if any of you or have any of you seen how things are done with the 3000 as far getting tracks into a DAW. do you find it easier to have your songs mapped out in the 3000,have the artist or whoever do the song with the 3000 synced up(still being midi),track over into a DAW(indiviual tracks) AFTER the song is finished. or do you guys find it better to just have the song done,sent over to the DAW(individual tracked)THEN have the artist do vocals.My reason for asking is i would think keeping it midi would be better incase you have to change midi notes or maybe you want to change the hi hat pattern on a certain seq when the artist say's a certain line. seems to me if everything was already tracked in,it would be hard to change the PATTERN of the hats. what do you guys think?

Depends on the project.

In most cases the MPC3000 stays plugged in, ten outputs at a time into a console and stays live in the mix until the final take ... that way it hits the master as generation one first time around.

Other times if other people are going to be working on a project then all ten outputs of the MPC3000 will be tracked in one pass to the multi track system. ( Protools, Fairlight, Nuendo, Cubase etc ... ).
