Accessing Logic's Spacedesigner from DAE

[Lawson]

I'm wondering if there is any way to access Logic's Spacedesigner plug-in while working with Logic in the DAE mixer. It appears that things can be routed from the DTDM mixer into the DAE mixer but not vice-versa. I'm pretty sure the Spacedesigner plug-in can only reside in the DTDM mixer. If I switch the DAE track to be processed to a DTDM track, I lose out on the DAE plug-ins for that track. Is there something I am missing, or is there a workaround?

Thanks,

As you assume it's a oneway signalflow.
Two ways I come to think of would be:
#1 Create a copy of the DAE-track on a DTDM track.
Simply create sends from that track to a "Space-Designer aux return", that you bus to the DAE-mixer.
You don't need to send the dry DTDM-track to the DAE-mixer.
Of coarse, in this scenario you don't have the inserted plugins of the original DAE-track, but you could do something similar with Logic/AU-plugins.
#2 If you have a track that sounds good without to much processing, (and don't mind sending the Space-Designer before TDM-plugins are engaged, you could just bus your DTDM-track (after sending to Space-Designer, which would also be bussed to DAE via ESB) to the DAE-mixer and add plug-inserts (EQ/comps etc)
Maybe too obvious, and not what you meant?

drpopkit,

Of course, that makes perfect sense. I can play back the audio track in DTDM and bus it to Spacedesigner. I can then route both of those seperately back to DAE and process the original track with DAE plug-ins. Don't know why I didn't think of that.

Logic/PT is a great combo, now only if we'd get two-way signalflow.
And more than 8 busses with ESB (4 stereo)...
