Logic PDC and UAD on buses..?? Un usable nightmare

Am i the only one who finds PDC a Pain in the arse.. and almost useable... Ok... you're track laying and building up your mix, and want to put a UAD compressor on teh drum buss... Oh its out of time, set PDC to ALL....Ok I now want to add a guitar...ohh you cant, you have to knock off either teh Drum buss compressor , or else you new recording will be out of sync... why cant you just work, logically and be able to build your mix , with bus summing and FX , and be able to add to the recordings with out having to faff with PDc settings and putting bus compressors...not good...UNLESS im missing something .????

I use low-latency mode when recording and turn it off when mixing.

There are some scenarios where PDC "just works", but for those cases where it doesn't, low-latency mode is the quick fix.

Thats helpful.....thank you.... just wish you could mix and not have to worry about it, as its such an essential part of the mixing process to buss compress, etc.... especially drums... so would you just dis-enable " LLM" when you finished adding your part.?

Also a question...are LOGIC compressors and limiters, the same on bus channels...or are they written different to 3rd party plugins , like UAD>>>

Ok...done a lot of research on this..

Seems LOGIC is the only DAW that you have to manually faff with this, and alter you way of working.

Ive used LOGIC for 30 years since Atari.... But now im doing more ITB mixing and hitting this nightmare...

I cant believe I just looked at PRO TOOLS...for once it looks attractive.... Gutted.

You probably know this already, but enabling "Low Latency Mode" will disable any latency inducing plugins so you can record in time. You won't have the plugin, but at least you don't have to remove it and re-add it later.
