I've had great success recording straight into a Korg D16 mulitrack recorder from the 6500---then mixing-down to a stand alone CD burner. Sometimes I process the stereo outputs through various gear. The results are always clean and sound good to my
ear(s). I moved-up from the 6000 and never looked back. It's never faultered nor let me down. Can't wait to see/hear the 7000 when it appears.
