I am working on a cross-plattform plug-in that needs to input 4

i find it generally simpler to always use N-in/N-out terminology to
describe plugins. Do you mean a 4-in/2-out plugin? the AU API has no
issue with such configurations.
agreed, but logic switches the output to surround when using a bus
or channel with more than 2 outputs. Therefore that would lead to a
pretty bad user experience when using a 4-4 plug-in. So I need to
keep the plug-in a stereo effect, that uses 4 inputs.
Yes, I ment 4-in/2-out.
However, I did't find a way to use such a plug-in other than
switching to surround mode and using a 4-4 channel configuration
in Logic. Is there a way to use a 4-2 plug-in with Logic?
please don't consider logic to be the only AU host, even though
clearly its the most significant.
agreed, but what's the point in developing a plug-in that isn't
compatible with the most significant host?
Still need input if there is another method to use a 4-in/2-out
plug-in other than using the sidechain bus as an input...
I still do not remember your description of the purpose of your 4-
to-2 plugin. Without an idea of your purpose for such an odd
creation, it's really difficult comment on whether there is a better
way to handle it in Logic. Also, you have to consider that perhaps
the purpose of your plugin does not fall within the universe of
things that Logic intends to support, and thus it really doesn't
matter how popular and significant Logic is, if you don't fit within
its goals.
For example, I don't understand why you can't have 4 mono channels
mixed to a stereo bus, or where you expect to get 4-channel signals
as inputs in Logic. It could be that Logic excludes all plugins
which do the same thing as yours.
