maybe I'm wrong... but I think is very easy to understand:
Logic Mixer works same as analog mixer consolle...
if you use stereo Aux on analog mixer consolle the Pan knob works exactly as Logic Balance...
is this a terminology problem?
PAN, BALANCE are 2 different words for the same function (except for the PanLaw that can be set as you prefer in Logic).... they are simple left and rigth Knob???
these terms are used also on the analog MIXER consolle and... there are no difference in the solid state gears (balance term is used on HI-FI Stereo preamps, Pan term is used on the hardware Pro Mixers that have only mono channel strips)
Balance or Pan is the same knob! (expept for PanLaw setting)
please correct me if I'm wrong

Yeah! this is clear, but also on hardware mixer consolle the term Balance is never used!!!
it is a PAN!.... or better the difference between PAN and Balance on Analog MIXER consolle is not so clear... that is what i mean
but maybe I understand that PAN in Nuendo is a proprietary function...
because I have many hardware MIXER that report Balance or PAN is the same hardware KNOB!
as I just said Logic Mixer works like as hardware Mixer!!
Logic Mixer is direct connected to your audio card
you cannot route the output... (but you can use I/O plugin)
this allow you to have less latency...
have you never check the same audiocard latency using Logic and using Nuendo/Cubase????

This way is a protools way...mmm (i think is also Logic way but you need to set the preferences... I think protools have missing universal track mode features.. and Logic is able to works as you need UTM mode off or on... as required for your workflow) can you please let me know only one analog Mixer consolle that comes with this protools function?
(I remaind you that hardware pro Mixer comes with only MONO channel strips... so if you want that Logic works like protools you need to uncheck
Universal Track Mode box located in the audio preference)
Otherwise the Direction Mixer plugin is a great advanced digital features that should be better!!! (does not exist in PT)
as I said Logic mixer works like as hardware Mixer and if you turn off Universal Track Mode... Logic will be fully compatible with Protools DAE TDM hardware!!! (also Nuendo can do that; this function is required for DAE TDM compatibility)
I suggest you to un-check UTM in Logic and set audio preference to force split to 2X L and R individual linked mono files... you will be able to obtain Dual link channel strips for every stereo track with indipendent BALANCE or PAN control! (this also allow you to have great advantage and ProTools compatibility
anyway I'm very curious to know the difference between PAN and Balance Term (i think they are the same... the first term is for Mixer consolle on MONO channel strips... the second term is for Hi-Fi gears and stereo preamps)
please correct me if i'm wrong... (but also i suggest to check Logic with UTM turned OFF!
cheers
