Using DP & Logic as one program

Ok, so here's the scenario. Being very DP, and PT proficient, I recently gave Logic an objective go. It has it's good points and bad, but overall, I really can't stand the illogical way it's laid out to work. However, I love the instruments (and some plugz) that come with it. So I now use it synced with DP (using Beat Clock thru the IAC Bus) triggering everything through DP. Everything works flawlessly.
My only wish is that I had a "virtual audio interface" to route audio OP to from Logic, so I can stream it into DP all with in the box (kinda like ReWire, but a stand alone app that all programs can access). Using both programs like this I have found to be the "ultimate" sequencer. It's only weakness is this lack of internal audio routing. If I could get that taken care of, I'd be in 7th heaven.
I was hoping the Aggregate Device stuff in AMS would allow me to create this, but alas, no go. Anyone have any ideas?

Jack and Soundflower do this.

Looks like exactly what I want. Thanks for the info!

Welcome. Careful with Jack. It used to have a sample rate limit lower than 44K, I don't know if that is still true. But good luck.

Wormhole2 seems to be a more "pro app" to do what you want (support for multi audio channels between apps, no sample rate limit lower than 44k...etc)

give it a try at : http://plasq.com/

I would love it if you could write up a little tutorial once you get it all working. . .Thanks in advance.

As soon as I test all 3 options, I'd be happy too.

I'd also like to know what kind of stability you're getting with this setup. I tried this back with Logic 6 and DP 4 and both apps would crash left and right. It would be great to get this running smoothly.

What about the pull on CPU?

The problem I have had doing this is every time you create an instrument in DP Logic thinks you added a new MIDI port.
