The mixer is definiiely more flexible than the waves m-s plugs I've
used. I've used 1/2 dozen different VST plugs and I'm not sure why,
but I agree with Bernie that I get a fulller sound- more spatial
imaging flexibility using Logic's mixer than with the plugs. But I
also record in split stereo. I insert EQ to compensate for
differences in the settings and between the ways the mics are
responding. No issues with latency in Logic 4.8.1. Rob D.
