Logicman2 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I have Logic 10.7.4. How do I record multiple tracks at the same time. Lets say Vocals, Bass guitar and a rhythm guitar at the same time. If I record one track at a time, I click red button until it's solid, no issue. But when I do multiple tracks, I can't get them to not blink. Although I'm still able to record all 3 tracks, I lose input level on playback. This is only since 10.7.4 Is there new settings for this? I didn't have this issue until I updated Logic Pro x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) To hear input on playback, go to top menu Record - Uncheck Auto Input Monitoring And please don't double post. You can bump your thread with your own reply, but refrain from posting the same question again. Thank you!

triplets Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 What interface do you have? Are you trying to record 3 simultaneous tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Steinberg UR44. Im trying to record 2, 3 or even 4 tracks simultaneous. I am able to record multiple tracks, but on playback there is no level meter on any of the tracks.

Should track inspector input match channel? Example, my vocal track is input 4 but in track inspector the channel is : Audio 6 Also I am using a Steinberg UR44.

So let's test a super simple situation with two tracks on input 1 and input 2 as in my screen capture. What happens when you try to R-enable both in the Mixer the way I do exactly?

What happens when you try to R-enable both in the Mixer the way I do exactly? I did exactly as you recommended. I click both track record buttons to blinking red. It records both tracks on their channels, but playback has no track meter. If I record each track separately the track meter works on playback, but when recording single track I have to click track record button its a dull solid red as in image. Even when Im recording a single track, if the track record button is blinking, there is no playback meter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logicman2 Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Ok, I think I found the solution. I have to turn off the track record button on selected track to see playback meter. I didn't have to do that in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution David Nahmani Posted May 15, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 15, 2022 17 hours ago, Logicman2 said: I tried that. At least now I can turn off record button to see Track meter. Make sure your software monitoring is on and "input monitoring... etc" is off, like below, then don't use I buttons. The R button should now allow you to monitor and meter your source: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
