Hi Paul Absolutely - and it's completely fine to work this way if you choose to. I feel, however, that it's irritating and frustrating that for no apparent reason Apple is forcing users in the direction of using interleaved stereo files. Logic 7 gave us the option, I think Apple should be pressurised to give us back the option in Logic 8 and future releases of the software. cheers, Ian
