Record separate midi tracks at the same time

[Hicksou]

hi Guys, I do have a newbie question:

First of all, here is my config:

IMAC Leopard 4Gig

Logic 8.02

Apogee duet

M audio Keystation 88

MPD32

 

Sometimes, I want to record several tracks at the time. I click on the "R" button on the four tracks, but only one track is in grey (activated). I record and when I stop, all the tracks got a new midi track, but the grey track is the only track with a midi part with its own name. The other ones got the same name as the grey track.

For example, let say I have Track 1, track 2 and track 3.

When I record the three tracks together, with Track one selected (but all 3 ready to record with the red R) I got finally one midi part with the name track1, the other ones have the name "->Track1". I guess it means that the midi part has been recorded only once and has been put on the other tracks.

That's ok, but what I cannot understand is that if I am using a modwheel. The Grey track (selected one) is the only one with the modwheel data recorded. The other ones have only the notes recorded (into the "-> Track 1" part).

I would like the data from modwheel (and others CC#) to be duplicated as well.

Because now I have to copy paste track1 into track 2 and track 3... What a waste of time.

 

Thanks a lot for your help

What you're seeing on the unselected tracks are Aliases. They may not display the white vertical bars that represent the modwheel data, but they will still playback that data the same way as the original region (the one on the selected track).

Thank you so much!

 

Ok, I am creating the next topic for my last question and I will add this forum as my favorite!
