With my old Compact Flash Tascam PS5. it is less steps to just pull the card and plug that into the computer. Over both USB connections its just a storage device to read and write. I wouldn't be exporting to CD. Even with waves on my sampler, I can load, save, transfer to/from the device, SCSI storage, and computer right from the computer over SCSI. I usually don't have a lot of tracks, so I often just DUB my track outs to the interface. I can add the missing kazoo track over digital at the same time
