Audio sequencer and multitrack recorder order

My synth keyboard has one digital audio out. I can connect it to my
Roland VS multitrack recorder or my Mac running Logic 7. in your
experience, which of these two should come first?

I can work in Logic and bounce tracks to the Roland, or I can work on
the Roland and bounce tracks to Logic. I can burn the final CD on
either. is there a prevailing view in studio circles, whether the
audio sequencer or the multitrack HD recorder should come first in the
recording chain?

 

I have used a similar setup for years. As Hank Alrich has pointed out, the
answer to your question lies in the way that you work. And, you may find
that you have different answers for different songs... I certainly do.

Being very general about this, I'd say that you have to consider the
limitations of each approach, and decide how to make best use of the
strengths of each approach. For only a few MIDI tracks and audio tracks,
it may make little differnce, and then adding one more of either may make
all the difference in the world.

Good luck!
