The image here shows how badly Logic Pro 7 automation accuracy (red source, bounced in blue) sucks compared to Digital Performer (bounced, re-imported & aligned, green). Having said that, DP5 was shifting bounced files back 4/44100th of a second (talking a four sample offest). So take your pick. Crap automation or inaccurate bouncing? God I wish I could afford PT|HD. Audio file used was pink noise, and the automation curves were drawn from instantaneous negative infinity to +6dB on both Logic and DP's internal mixer.
