Enable tracks for recording in Logic Pro for iPad
You enable a track for recording using the Record Enable button in the track header. Record Enable buttons have multiple states:
For audio tracks: Off (gray), Armed (blinking red), Recording (solid red). For the focused track, the letter R in its Record Enable button turns red, indicating that it will be enabled when recording starts (when you tap the Record button).
For software instrument tracks: Off/No input (gray), Receiving MIDI input and/or Recording (solid red).
You can enable multiple tracks, as long as each track has a unique input (chosen in the Input slot in the Mixer). Multiple tracks that use the same input cannot be simultaneously record enabled. If several tracks are assigned to the same channel strip (for example, “Audio 1”), the new recording appears on the focused track assigned to the channel strip. If none of the record-enabled tracks is focused, the recording appears on the first (uppermost) of the tracks. See Record to multiple audio tracks.
If you record enable multiple software instrument tracks, a new MIDI region is recorded on the focused MIDI track, and an alias of the recorded MIDI region is created on the other record-enabled MIDI tracks. For more information, see Record to multiple software instrument tracks in Logic Pro.
Enable a track for recording
In Logic Pro, show the track controls.
Tap the red Record Enable button in the track header.
Tap the Record Enable button again to disable the track for recording.
If the Record Enable button does not appear in the track headers, customize the track headers so that it is visible.
