Record software instruments and audio simultaneously in Logic Pro for iPad
In Logic Pro for iPad, you can record software instruments using MIDI input devices or the Play Surfaces and audio using microphones, electric, electronic, and acoustic instruments simultaneously. You can choose to record to a single software instrument track or multiple, separate software instrument tracks while simultaneously recording audio tracks.
Record a software instrument and audio simultaneously
In Logic Pro, tap the Record Enable button
in the track header of each track you want to record to.On audio tracks, the activated Record Enable buttons blink red to indicate that the tracks are ready for recording. On software instrument tracks, the activated Record Enable buttons turn red to indicate that the tracks are ready for recording.
Tap one of the software instrument tracks to select it.
Position the playhead at the point in the ruler where you want to start recording.
Set the metronome
and set a count-in 
for recording if you want.Tap the Record button
in the control bar to start recording.Use the Play Surface or a MIDI controller to play some notes and start singing or playing instruments.
Tap the Stop button
in the control bar to stop recording.
Record multiple MIDI input devices and audio simultaneously
You can record multiple MIDI input devices simultaneously, each device representing a unique performance and triggering different sounds on multiple software instrument tracks at the same time you record multiple audio sources.
Before you start recording, make sure you create software instrument tracks for each MIDI Input device you want to record. You can also configure your MIDI sources in In/Out MIDI settings.
In the Track inspector for each software instrument track, use the MIDI In Port and MIDI In Channel pop-up menus to choose the MIDI In port and MIDI In channel that matches the MIDI output port and channel for the MIDI input device sending to that specific track. For more information about track parameters, see Edit track parameters.
Tap the Record Enable button
in the track header of each track you want to record to.Each activated Record Enable button on an audio track blinks red to indicate that the track is ready for recording. Each activated Record Enable button on a software instrument track turns red to indicate that the track is ready for recording.
Position the playhead at the point in the ruler where you want to start recording.
Set the metronome
and set a count-in for recording if you want.Tap the Record button
in the control bar to start recording.Use each MIDI input device to record software instrument parts and start singing or playing instruments.
