Thanks for your reply. I DEFINITELY don't want to start a thread about Multitimbral vs multi out. I'd want to save the world of the debacle of starting ANOTHER thread about that.
If you're in Protools and wanted to create a stereo Master Fader but made a mono one right after they gave you a choice in the dialogue box, well, you're an idiot. Seeren, you're not an idiot, but if someone were to choose mono when they wanted stereo, would be.
On an actual mixing desk before the world of digital, when you sent a signal there were two common places you would send to, an aux (which you only had a limited number of) or out to one of your outputs (again limited, even today you would be). Of course, we know this which is why I wonder why Apple stuck with this method.
I don't think Logic does things confusingly because I'm used to PT. In fact, Logic does more things way easier than PT. I'm not going to list them here, but there's lots. That's why I made the switch. I just think that there are so many DAWs out there that follow that convention because it mirrors the old school way of doing things. I still haven't heard a good answer as to why Logic would do this. If there is tell me. All I get from the Logic fanboys is "if don't like it, don't use it". What a dumb answer and a great way to turn someone off of a piece of software if they are a beginner to audio.
The fact that protools makes an aux track in both the edit and the arrange window is nice. The fact that logic puts one for you in the mix window only isn't. That's one more step. One more step isn't a big deal, it's when you have to start looking through manuals or even online to find it. Also, that's not enough to make me switch back to PT.
