Muting tracks VS dedicated outs

Hi folks!

About to start recording some stuff from AK/A4 and I’m wondering if there is a difference between muting all but one tracks and using the main out to record as opposed to connecting to the individual outs? I don’t have 4 inputs on my soundcard and it would save me some plugging in/out of cables.

Thanks

With Main you can record fx.

Make a test to compare, unchecking FX in VOICE ROUTING ! I guess it’s similar…
