Hey, I can't speak for Protools as I'm no expert there, but I can tell you there are major issues with using outboard hardware in Logic, even when using symphony. Symphony may have very low latency, but there's always still latency involved when doing conversion out and then back in. And logic's latency compensation, when it comes to outboard inserts, is obnoxious.

You can get a plugin called "latency fixer" that allows you to adjust the latency on tracks with outboard patched in. That's the method I use right now, and while it kind of kills your workflow, it... sort of works.

Forgive me if I misunderstood your question. And if you need more, there are plenty of threads here surrounding logic's mishandling of outboard when mixing. Especially one specifically complaining that Logic 8 didn't resolve the problem .. it's in the Logic 8 special forum.

Good luck.
