inputs not showing correctly

[uhdinator]

I recorded 14 tracks with a Mackie onyx mixer, MBP and external drive for and hour. I got home and hooked the ext HD to my Imac. Then I opened it and created a region for one song that I wanted to create a project for and exported the region as audios file for each track to a new folder.

 

opened new project and selected empty project 14 mono tracks.

then dragged each track into new project. Now I want to add a track and my input options show 1-14 and 15/16 are grayed out.

 

Problem is My Imac is running thru a Motu and have been mixing and Logic shows it as my core audio device. The outs selectable also show 1-14.

 

Is there something embedded in the files that would cause this to see the mackie interface instead of the Motu?

I have tried switching to built in sound, select apply on the Imac and it switches and I select Motu ultralite and apply and it switches back but should should 8 in/out buts does not change in the mixer ???

 

The original MBP recording project created by selecting a "mackie template" I created so it automatically loads 16 mono tracks with inputs 1-16 selected and armed.
