Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hi,

I have a question... I thought Liquid mix had that "free-range-mode" feature that allowed 
you to bypass the pre-set adjustments on those classic units and have emulate an "infinite 
control" over the preset-fixed parameters. Is that not happening, or work very well ? It 
was one of the main features that draw me to consider getting Liquid Mix.

Thanx !
