I sum in my Multiface all the time so obviously I agree with John on this. Recently I had a whole bunch of tracks all going to Logic's outs 1 & 2 and where those outputs come up in Totalmix I was occasionally peaking in the red. When I split those tracks in Logic across 4 or 5 stereo pairs there was no more peaks on any of the logic outs in Totalmix any more. That shows a potential benefit of summing in TM right there. I also agree with John that the difference between Logic and TM summing is not huge but it is clearly improved to my ears. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Paul Najar Jaminajar Music Production www.jaminajar.com
