Ah ok great! So I'm not completely crazy then! Haha. Ok can we chalk this up as a bug for Apple to fix then?

Thanks David! That's a really good explanation! Ok I'll let it lie with regards "Live Modes" for the moment. I would love to know what's going on under the hood of Logic here though. Thanks for the workaround for the end of my post. It just seems so unintuitive! I can't believe I'm the only person finding this is an issue....... I'm feeling like perhaps my workflow is the issue!! How do you record multiple software instrument tracks quickly, flipping from one to another? Is there a better way entirely?

Hey David, Thanks for replying! Ok is what you see in the video I posted "Logic working as expected" then? For example at 31 seconds Logic changes the third track from being R-enabled in "Live Mode" (at 26 seconds) to R-enabled "Not in Live Mode" (at 31 seconds) which is not a change I made. At 29 seconds (when the second track is selected) the third track is not R-enabled at all but at 33 seconds (when the fourth track is selected) the third track is R-enabled in "Live Mode". Apologies if that's normal 'as expected' behaviour but I do not understand the logic behind it. In any case, I'm looking to click 'R' on a track (or select it if I have to) to R-enable in "Live Mode", record on that track, stop recording and then click 'R' (or select if I have to) on the next track down and have the new track R-enable in "Live Mode" but cancel the previous track's R-enable in "Live Mode" status - Is that possible?? Thanks so much!

Hi all, Thanks so much for the interest and help on this topic. Perhaps the attached video would help show what I'm experiencing better than I can explain it. For this video I just used mouse clicks, no shortcuts in order to record enable tracks. I tried clicking on the 'R' on the track header and then just clicking on the track to select it as per your suggestion @David Nahmani. See how the behaviour is not consistent? It just doesn't seem to be repeatable and that's just between 4 software instrument tracks - imagine a 100+ track session! Is there something I'm obviously doing that's wrong? Apologies the forum restrictions limit the file upload to 1.95Mb and so I can't really show my whole screen. Any help would be most appreciated - thank you! Logic Record Enable__.mp4

Ok I'm glad it's not just me having that issue. I assume that Apple are aware of the bug and that it's not a 'new feature implementation'? If it is a 'new feature' I hope they can add a preference for record enable behaviour. Thanks!

Hi there, I just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing Record Enable behaviour changes. I'm used to Record Enable acting in an XOR type way - when you select record enable on a track, the previous record enabled track is cancelled. However in Logic 10.7.5 the previous record enabled track is not being cancelled meaning I'm recording over tracks by mistake. If anyone can shed some light as to why this is happening that would be most helpful. Thanks!

Hi Eric, Just wanted to say that your method worked great! Thank you!

Hi there, When you have a group of tracks selected in the mixer is it possible to have that selection reflected in the arrange window? I can't seem to find a way to do this. The behaviour would be more akin to ProTools. Please let me know. Many thanks!

Hi there, Yes I tried that too, the only problem is that if you use KM to detect the spacebar it over-rides Logic. In other words KM will pick up the space bar trigger but it renders the spacebar useless in Logic and you can't play the session. I'm trying to use start and stop in Logic on one computer to mute audio in different app on a different computer via MIDI and KM. So all I'm really looking for is some kind of play / stop message that KM can interpret which I can use as a trigger. There's probably a few ways to do this though and MIDI isn't the only one - so I'm open to any other ideas. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I'm looking to have the commands play and stop in Logic's transport each output a consistent MIDI note or a MIDI sys ex message. I've tried using MMC for this but this produces a different message based on bar | beat location, it also produces a MIDI message when you move the playhead around, and I'm only looking for play and stop. I'd like to press space bar to play the song anywhere in the session and that would then output a MIDI note to the interface and port of my choosing. I don't really mind what the value is, just that it's known and doesn't change. Does anyone know how to do this or could you point me in the right direction? I'm trying to send play and stop commands to keyboard maestro via the 'This MIDI' trigger. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I just wanted to ask the community how you're saving and sharing project files when working collaboratively? Are you using a specific app e.g. Mixim, are you using project alternatives or just a simply save as? I'm using the latest version of logic and running Sierra. I'm interested to hear from anyone that has a system that's working well for them! Thanks in advance. Kind regards.
