Recording not working! Help please! :)

Post by Peter Land »

Dear Logic X experts:

I am having a bit of a ridiculous problem. I can't seem to record anything in Logic. I'm a long time user (but won't go and call myself an expert). And haven't had THIS problem for many years…but i am a bit baffled. My Software instruments are opened and of course also 'armed'..ie the R button is pressed. When I press "R" for Record the whole project starts trying to record from the begining as opposed to where i presently am in the track…(which is quite annoying and has just been doing this today). And more problematic.. Logic doesn't record anything i'm playing in. I can hear the sounds of my software instruments.. I can hear the playback of other stuff I recorded/composed in Sibelius and then imported into Logic. But i can't record!!!

Sorry for asking help on such a seemingly dumb beginners problem..but i'm a bit baffled here.

One perhaps tell tale thing to mention is that on my Output Meter the right hand digit display has a red background. This is new and seems to be coinciding with my recording problem.

Many many thanks for any pointers you might be able to give me!! :)

ok…i think i might have figured it out…the record button is flashing on and off in the above mentioned project. When i open up a new project and hit the record button it just stays on…and RECORDS! Now…how do I get this button to just stay on and not flash…any ideas?

thank you for any help and sorry for this dumb question!!
