I would like to use outboard gear (EQ,compression, etc) without "printing" the settings on the recorded track. In other words use a "dry" vocal and send the signal to an outboard reverb and have it go back into logic.

what you're describing is how most of us work anyway. but we need to know a little more about your setup. if you have a multi channel interface, you can either use a channel output (eg output 3 while output 1-2 are for everything else - band whatever) to a channel on your mixing desk. send to your aux on which you have the reverb which is returned to the desk. this way your are mixing partially outboard for FX. the other way (esp if you don't have a mixing desk) is to have your outputs of your interface go directly into the reverb unit and mix the signal there. be careful not to "resend" the wet signal back to the reverb unit otherwise you will have a feedback loop. so you might have the voice mixed in with everything else coming out of channel 1-2, monitored through inputs 1-2 that have been set to play out of channel 3-4. that way you are listening to everything - dry recording and band to FX back into logic and monitored.
...and dont forget about latency when you work that way.

that's right! but logic helps out with latency. RTFM on that...
LAP7 does not compensate external outboard with its PDC.
How do you guys deal with the latency issue when you use outboard compressors,eq´s...?
Isn't this what Logic's I/O Plugin is for? Don't do this myself but might be an idea to read up on it.

Helper I/O doesnt PDC.......As far as I know Nunedo is this only DAW who does that completly automaticly.
If you master on the desk then there is no latency issue. or you can use hardware monitoring if you have the right interface, and patch things using the control panel for the interface. but logic offers PDC and it's implementation is supposed to be very good - though i have not used it myself.
How can I use outboard effects with Logic?
