Did you watch the video before your response?
Your entire response goes around the entire purpose of external effects. A simple internal route either to a buss as the channel output or via a send is the way to bounce your external IO or in real time is general practice.
External I/O effects save a lot of time folding out to console whether you agree with that or not is up to you - its horses for courses. In addition ping is rather handy when working with a lot.
The type of external outboard is totally irrelevant - its a DA AD routing to an analogue or digital device.
The video shows it quite clearly. Im not looking for a run down on what you believe to be good nor bad tbh.
The issue occurs as shown when a mix of external IO effect plugs along with a standard AD input is recorded. If you remove the standard AD 1-2 or whatever input in, ithe issue doesn't happen,. Thats not a workaround. In addition if you take a real time bounce of the session - a desk jam - again there are no issues.
Its a logic issue, no other daw on the rig behaves like this.
it goes without saying OF COURSE routing out DA and then back in AD doesn't cause an issue - but then again thats not what I have asked
For clarity the following work:
1. In this mixed situation, when using external IO for tracking through channel strips quickly, if you have a general AD input in the mix as well, wrap that within an external IO and there is no issue.
2. As you say a more manual approach is to manual patch in and out
Logic should not behave in the way its shown in the video hence my post.
Thanks anyway!
