Record multiple MIDI devices to multiple tracks in Logic Pro for Mac
Just as you can record multiple audio performances simultaneously on multiple audio tracks, you can record multiple MIDI input devices simultaneously, each device representing a unique performance and triggering different sounds, on multiple instrument tracks. Before you start recording, make sure you create software instrument tracks for each MIDI input device you want to record, and configure each MIDI input device. For more information about using external MIDI devices, see Using MIDI devices and MIDI Inputs settings.
When Enable Complete Features is selected in Logic Pro > Settings > Advanced, you can record multiple MIDI input devices simultaneously to multiple software instrument tracks.
Record multiple MIDI input devices to multiple instrument tracks
In the Track inspector for each track, use the MIDI In Port and MIDI In Channel pop-up menus to choose a unique MIDI port and (optionally) a MIDI 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.
Click the Record Enable button
in the track header of each track you want to record to. Each clicked Record Enable button turns red to indicate that the track is ready for recording.Move the playhead to the point in the ruler where you want to start recording.
See Use the metronome if you want to use the metronome during recording.
Click the Record button
in the control bar (or press R) to start recording.Recording begins after the predefined count-in.
Use each MIDI input device to record parts.
Click the Stop button
in the control bar (or press the Space bar) to stop recording.
A MIDI region is recorded to each record enabled track. If a MIDI input device outputs MIDI on a channel for which there was no instrument track, the MIDI data is lost.
