Dumb logic question I'm afraid.

[AntLockyer]

I usually just use logic 8 to track individual instruments and then mix the results.

for my latest project I want to use one of the apple loops so I can jam with that and then once I've got the instruments recorded I can re-do the drums.

So I start a new project. Drag the loop into the first track. Then I want to recrd the bass guitar so I click new track (audio, armed and input monitoring on) when I play back the drum loop from track 1 is playing in this new track and I can't get it to stop.

I'm sure I've done this before without any issues.

What on earth have I done wrong

Thanks

I'll give it a try.. I am not sure what you mean by "playing in this new track" Once you create a new track it should be empty. Lets say track one is for your loop and track 2 is for the bass. In the arrange (main) window it will show you the wave form for the sound originating in all the created tracks. So if the loop somehow has been duplicated into tracks 1 and 2 then simply select the bars and delete...

or try redoing your whole project with another premade template that is provided by logic. hope this helps

Did you click the Create new track or did you create a track with the same channel assignment?

Track 1 contains Vintage Funk Kit 12 and it's I/O settings are Input 1 and Out 1-2

Track 2 contains no audio in the main track window and has input 2 and out 1 - 2

There is however the same waveform in the sample editor for both tracks. If I create a new track from that point (track 3) that will behave normally.

It's really annoying me now.

6 months on I still have this issue

Your post seems to answer this, but it really doesn't. What specific method do you use for adding audio tracks?

Why do you assign an input to a virtual instrument?

Vintage Funk Kit 12 is an Apple Loop hence an audio track. Even with inputs turned off it does the same thing.

I've got a 312kb project file if anyone is willing to take a look. I can email it if you pm me.

Thanks

Due to the kindness of superaction80 we have shown that it is something to do with my logic setup as my project worked properly on his setup.

Any ideas?

[lysander]

Sorry 'bout that -- what about your interface? Could it be the culprit? Is it routing to the wrong track, or multiple tracks, perhaps?

Found it

In Audio Preferences > Devices > Core audio

There is a check box universal track mode.

Thanks everyone who helped.
