Yes i am basing this on signals not nulling will lead to shortcomings of outputs and fx,which is totally accurate for me to suggest,imo.
And everyone here is saying no, this is absolutely not true. When there is a level difference of less than 1/10 of a dB between the input vs the output, all you get is a level difference. Nothing more, nothing less. That is all.

If the signals don't null dry,once they are reverted to normal,there will be losses instead of boosts due to the offset(phase.)
Not if the reason they don't null is that there is a 1/10 of a dB difference between them, as in the example we were discussing here. In that case phase absolutely plays no part in the equation!!!

They can still be used of course and may sound great,but it will be a slight deception to your ears and metering of what could be achieved,and will lack the full power of the fx.
If by lack of full power you mean that there is a 1/10 dB difference, than I would totally agree. Not that it lacks MUCH power - after all, it could be the effect is ADDING that 1/10 dB (all we know is there is a DIFFERENCE, not which one is louder) So would adding gain make something "lack the full power"?

Sometimes music and metering is not about how loud a signal is,but how quiet it is... meters can show definate readings while your ears 'hear nothing'--- what's your lowest normal range of hearing with speakers and headphones??
Mine differs with environment background noise,as yours will also... i get 'audible' headphone readings around -80db // -60db depending on the background noise.
Try getting a 1ms ddl delay to null-- with or without VMG-- you will see for yourself using the big meter,but you may not hear it.
Ok?
Try getting a 1 ms ddl delay to null WITH WHAT? You need two signals to get a null, and you've only mentioned one.
Plus I got lost in your example about how loud vs how soft a sound is. It's all relative to me.

There's a tread for this if you're interested.
