Here is a link to the plugin Input Calibrator by yours truly. Input Calibrator let’s you set different delays (in ms) for the left and the right channel. Also, you can dampen the left and right channels independently.
To use this plugin to it’s fullest please read the book “The Composer’s Approach” by Mike Novy. More info about the book here:

You can also read my mini-review of the book here:

I’m in no way affiliated with Mike Novy or the book itself, just a happy reader of it. I just found Logic’s built-in plugins to be a bit fiddly so I wrote my own.

You also need to have Sonicbirth installed for the plugin to pass AU-validation.

(Don’t worry, it’s free too!)
I tried to use your Input Calibrator v1.0 in logic 9 but logic wont validate the plug-in. Any thoughts as to what I did wrong?
Hhmm, Apple probably changed something in the AU-API or something. It won’t work in 64-bit, that’s for sure but it should work in the 32-bit bridge me thinks. I’m still on Logic 8 so I can’t check it myself. Sorry…
Thanks for the reply,
Currently I’m running 10.5.7 and logic 9 32 bit. Logic just wont authorize the plugin. Which is a eal shame since I would love to use it to follow the guide lines from the composer’s approach book.
just a short Hi. Will you be able to make the Calibrator work in Logic 9? I would even paypal you.
Sorry, don’t think so. The plug is built with Sonic Birth and the last update to that framework is from 2007. I’m no “real” coder, just a “wrangler”
Hi Thomas,
I’m on Logic 8 on a g5 running OSX.5, and it also won’t validate your PlugIn.
Strange, I’ve gotten it to run on that configuration. Sorry, not the answer you hoped for I guess
Would it help if I send you the error message which the AU validator puts out? Maybe it’t just a simple issue, but to me those infomation all sounds greek…

Ahh, yes, that makes sense, should have thought of that
Seems you need to have the Sonicbirth library loaded (the app which I used for the plugin). It can be downloaded for free here:

Thank You, that’s great news.
Let me know how it works
