When i use a send and put a Plug in i get a little flanging, eqaul if i use it post or pre. In other seqeunzer (FX or Aux-Track) there isnt it so - mesns: it sounds very better.
Is this a bug?
Can anybody help?

I believe what you're describing is comb filtering - not true flanging but it sort of sounds like it. It is caused by the pre- and post-send signals being slightly out of phase. I've had the same problem but I have figured out how to overcome it.

this isn't really a bug. mixman is right, it's just a little combing due to the delay from the effect on the bus.

make sure the effect on the send bus is set to 100% wet (0 dry) signal --so you're only getting the effected signal and not partially dry/uneffected (but slightly delayed) signal... this should fix the problem.

alternately, you can set the output on the channel you're effecting to "Sends Only"...

good luck!
