Question, is there a way to automatically arm midi tracks so that you don't have to click (R) on every track before playing??? Thanks to all.

You don't have to arm MIDI tracks, they're in record all the time. Use Record if you know you're gonna play something good and use Capture Last Take when you know you have played something good.

Select a track, start play, play your midi notes and press Ctrl-* when you want to keep what you played. Try it. Herbert Boland www.zepmusic.com

If I open a song and press the play button, all of the midi sounds are incorrect. I have to click on (R) once which turns the button red and then click on the (R) again to turn it off. After going through this process on each used channel only then will the correct sounds play. Michael

> If I open a song and press the play button, all of the midi sounds are incorrect. That's a completely different problem altogether. Choosing the correct sounds is not at all related to a track's arm status. > I have to click on (R) once which turns > the button red and then click on the (R) again to turn it off. You don't. Selecting the *track* by *any* means will suffice, as it's the selecting act that re-sends any set PrgCha's . You are basically doing by hand what the Send Used Instruments Settings preference does automatically. Christian

I agree. This comes up most often when I am running Logic while someone else is playing. In my quest for efficiency I am often tempted to try to edit other tracks while a part is being played or recorded.. and of course I have to be very careful not to select another track or suddenly I get a dirty look from the person playing ; ) I do wish we could lock in a record track so we could have more freedom to do other things simultaneously. Anyone else bothered by this? I've been bitching to emagic about it for years. -Dan
