OK, just to chip in once again - doing the test as I described, the two files will
NOT null because one bounce is done through the MixBus Saturation and the other bounce isn't. You should get around -72dB residue with the Tape Sat fully down, around -36dB with it where you would have it for normal use.

I don't think so. As has been stated:
DAW's like Logic, Cubase and DP started life as Atari based MIDI sequencers (Notator, Pro24 etc.) While IIRC ProTools started out as an Audio editing platform on the Atari in the early '90's (SoundTools).
Later they had Audio and DSP (and MIDI in PT's case) bolted on but certainly in Logic's case, the heritage still shows in some of its better known flaws - such as only having 128 steps of fader and pan resolution - a hangover from MIDI controller data. Also it's awful metering, lack of dithering and possibly inconsistent latency (and yes, I think I can remember how to demonstrate that one) to name but a few more.
However, I must thank Tui for helping me to expand my thinking, as this morning I had an epiphany about how I might better integrate MixBus into my workflow within Logic. I'll have to do a bit more testing (MUHAHAHAHAHAHA) but I think that there is a good chance that it will retain the Harrison sound that I like but will avoid some of the annoying issues I find when routing audio from logic into MixBus. Thus I'll have the best of both worlds.
I'll post the results if it works.
