Logic 8 won't let me record-arm more than one track

[Cursed Lemon]

I can record more than one track in Pro Tools just fine, so it's not like it's a system limitation. How do I record more than one track at a time in Logic 8?

Select a different input.

You have 1 of 2 problems:

1. You have the same input selected for each track.
2. You don't have a multiple input audio interface.

I'm assuming it's the 1st of the two since you said you can record enable multiple tracks in ProTools.

FYI - when creating more than one new track at a time, you can click "ascending" and that will automatically assign different inputs to the tracks (ie - if you create 8 tracks at the same time, it will assign track 1 to input 1, track 2 to input 2, and so on).

The above answers are kind of right. Here's an explanation. You can only record one input to one track. You can't record one input to multiple tracks. So when they say "change inputs".... that's what they mean!

I have one humble audio interface (Line 6 UX2), and I have one mike going into it. I have three tracks that I would like to record enable and then record on all of them at once. Logic won't let me. Is it possible? Thanks.

Aside from your mic, what are you trying to record?
