Difference in recording main output and single outputs

hey guys
i created a drum loop which i record via Overbridge into ableton… if i record the single outputs on 8 audio tracks and compare it with how the master output sounds there is a very slight but noticable difference… i have no effects on the master output, also no effects on the single recording tracks… can anyone think of a reason?
the problem is that the main output sounds bit better, but obv i will have to use the single track recordings…

Maybe the main output passes through the compressor before heading into the DAW and it’s coloring things a bit?

Analog summing, slight compression, slight distortion.
