Hi all, had a strange experience today, when trying to record audio (voice) and Midi (piano) together, the audio would not record. The 'recording' window opens showing recording time but no audio appears on the track. I have to have the midi track selected so that the midi is passed through but I thought any 'armed' audio track would record whether selected or not. Sure I could do this in L7. Is there some hidden default setting I should know about?

I found this pretty odd too and I don't remember being this way in past versions of Logic. Am I crazy or it was always like this? Or this is bug after some update of Logic or OSX 10.4? I noticed this recently recording myself on the drums. I hit record, rush to the the drumset but no recording happens. I then went back to the Mac, noticed none of the 7 tracks were selected, selected one of them and it works. This make no sense and it shouldn't be that way. Gordon

It's always been this way. You must have a record-enabled audio track selected to begin recording audio. Yes, it's irritating, and has resulted in many missed recordings for me too. It's even more annoying from a Logic Control - looks exactly like it's recording, but isn't. To record audio and MIDI simultaneously, record-enable the audio tracks, select one, shift-select the MIDI track. Or select audio track as above, record pause (record toggle), then just select the MIDI track normally and hit play.
