Can't record Audio while recording an Audio Instrument?

Okay, so I never expected this to be a problem. I've just recently begun recording multiple tracks at the same time (all audio-only until this point). I'm sure there's a really simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it.
Today I wanted to record a few strums on my guitar and then play a few chords on the keyboard, going back and forth. I armed the track for the guitar (it will record by itself, by the way) and then armed the track for the keyboard (which will also record by itself). I hit record, did my thing, and the audio for the guitar just didn't record. All I had was MIDI.
Both tracks appeared armed for recording.
I had the Audio Instrument track currently selected, so I figured maybe it got priority. If I selected the Audio track though, the Audio Instrument track was no longer considered armed.
Is this just something I can't do? Or maybe there's an option I can change for this in Preferences or something?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I'm 100% certain that I'm getting the signal from the guitar. The levels change as I strum both before and during recording.
-If I have the guitar's track both selected and armed, it will record.
-If I have the guitar track armed with a different audio track selected, it will record.
-If I have the guitar track armed with an Audio Instrument track selected, only the Audio Instrument records.
-I cannot arm both the guitar track and an Audio Instrument track with the guitar track selected, because as soon as I select the guitar track, the Audio Instrument track(s) become unarmed.
This is not a matter of me getting no sound out of the recording- there is simply no recording. (And during recording, the little dialog box doesn't pop up to tell me that audio is recording.)
It does seem simple enough, and yet it doesn't work. I can record multiple audio tracks, but for some reason once I throw a MIDI track into the mix I can't record audio simultaneously.
I have no reason to believe this is anything other than Logic as I can record both separately (without altering the configuration of how I have things plugged into my computer at all). I just can't seem to do them together.
Surely Logic can be used to record something like... MIDI keyboard and vocals simultaneously, right? This has to be a feature.
If you don't quite get what my problem is, open Logic and test out the bullet points at the top of this message. That should help you understand.

  • Record external audio while recording a video?

    Hello,
    I am planning on making a short film but recoding all the footage on my Ipad air, I wounded if it was possible to plug in an external shotgun microphone to use while recording viedo at the same time.
    Here is the mic i was planning on getting:

    Would it be possible to make the Ipad use this mic instead of its internal one while the camera app is open recording a video?
    If this is not the case does anyone know any other way of using an external device to record audio while recording video?
    Thanks for your help!

  • APE 7 Mute audio while recording?

    When trying to add a narration, my voice comes thru the speakers when I am recording. When I check the "Mute audio while recording" button the audio does NOT mute. Is this a bug?
    The only work around is that I have to turn down the speaker each time I want to add a narration. It's a pain in the butt but it works.

    I had the same problem and question in APE9, then I searched this forum and found your reply.
    The only problem is the wording in the dialog box, which I think Adobe should fix.  While your final sentence is quite true, the slider on the left is not a record-level indicator but rather a volume (as in headphones) indicator, which controls the volume of the feedback coming into the headset speakers from the microphone with a short time lag.  (At least that's the way it seems to work with my headset.)
    the problem is with Adobe's wording in that box, namely, "to reduce feedback while recording lower Input Level Volume slider."  Well Adobe, the only slider that I see in the box is the one on the left, and calling it an "Input Level Volume slider" sure sounds like a "record-level control" to me.  That's a logical interpretation in my book.  And "mute audio while recording" is pretty vague, what audio exactly (you answered that question correctly also, but until I saw this post I assumed, like the original poster here, that "audio" referred to the sound/feedback in my headphones, not other audio tracks.  Though I guess if I'd been recording narration on top of another audio track (which I don't usually do), I might have noticed that.
    All this to plead with Adobe, if they're monitoring this forum, to reconsider the wording in that dialog box and in future elsewhere in the software.  Maybe before releasing the next version, ask some non-engineers to read the wording in the various dialog boxes and have them edit it, or at least explain to you in their words what they think it means.  You might be in for a big surprise, as above ...  Just a suggestion
    Vague or confusing wording such as this doesn't help anyone.

  • Stereo Audio Record problem (While recording video as well)

    Hi,
    I just just bought Sony Xperia C3 dual yesterday. I'm having problem with audio recording. I installed the Sony audio recorder from Google play store but while recording in stereo mode with it the gain suddenly drops after 1/2 second(s). Same problem while recording a video with stock camera app as well, video quality is fine but the audio with it is,just worst. Tried third party app like regorge pro but faced the same problem. Tried disabling the AGC with it, but no good. Recording in mono mode just works fine and I get clear record.
    Any solution?
    Thanks.

    @uliwooly  This one i recorded today morning. The audio starts good & clear at the begining but just after one second it drops & then you can hear the bus engine sounds like waterfall. Here is the youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5H1jNxyYMlw Here's another video uploaded by a review site with the same problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3vKwydfN6U & more from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GLLj2ommP4  then i used a third party audio recorder with mic switch option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6d4uAEZFRE as usual with the rear mic the gain suddenly drops after second & you can hear some weird sounds like a "movie bomb" sound at 00:04, "rattle snake" sound at 00:05 & 00:12 & with the front mic starts at 00:17 you can hear the difference. It's mono but so clear & sharp.  Finally, as i dont have the mic swith option while recording video, all videos i record will have the same problem. This is definitely not  the typical "sony" thing to carry on.

  • No audio while recording on dvr

    While recording any channel, I lose the audio on that channel if I leave that channel and then go back to it. After returning to a channel that is being recorded, the only way I can get the audio back on that channel is to turn the box off and then back on. I have tried re-booting the box by unplugging it for over 1 minute, but that didn’t solve the problem. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? The dvr is Cisco CHS 435HDC. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem Solved: First, Verizon tech support sent me another Cisco DVR which had the same problem. Then they sent out a repair man who decided to try a Motorola DVR instead of the Cisco. Presto, the problem was gone! Apparently Verizon likes the Cisco units because they auto-activate, but my experience shows the Motorola to work better. With the Motorola, the channels changed faster and there were no audio issues when returning to a channel being recorded. Also, with the Cisco  I would hear a repeating thumping noise in the TV speakers when a program was paused, but not with the Motorola. And my dvr remote web access only worked about half the time with the Cisco but is working fine with the Motorola. 
    A side note: The replacement Cisco unit Verizon sent me via UPS was apparently pulled from another customer and sent to me without being cleaned up first. It still had someone elses recordings on it that had record dates prior to the date I received it, and the front of the unit had some kind of gooey substance on it. I wonder if they even tested it before they sent it to me. 

  • 70D Is there a way to control audio while recording video?

    I have figured out how to control the audio manually prior to entering the video record mode (no thanks to the manual) but can’t figure out how to control it once the camera is recording.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Tim, if Canon were to introduce a software update that allowed one of the dials to increase or decrease record level during recording, that would really elevate the 70D's standing as a video device. Is it possible?
    I was recording a musician the other day who turned up his amp during a song and was stuck with the manual level I'd set before he started. It's a helpless feeling knowing you've either got to settle for distortion or stop and restart the recording, losing part of the song.

  • Distorted audio while recording with ScreenSflow

    Hi all,
    when I record my screen using ScreenFlow (latest version) I get distorted audio.
    I am not using external speakers and I just need to record with the "Record Computer Audio" option and nothing else selected.
    How do I fix this? It makes it unusuable...
    Thanks

    You can connect a mic to the iPod via the headphone jack and that mic will be used by the video app you use for the video camera on the iPod. I do not remember if the built-in mic gets cut off when yo do that so you may have to cover the mic hole on the iPod.

  • Podcast conversion painfully slow; can't add chapters while recording?

    I'm finding GB3's conversion to m4a very, very slow.
    For the last six months, I was using GB2 to mix my audio, iTunes to convert to m4a, and PodcastAV to add chapters and pictures. The mixdown process takes the same amount of time (10 minutes for an hour long podcast), but GB3 takes over half an hour to convert the audio to 64 kbps audio! In comparison, the equivalent iTunes takes three or four minutes to do the same. Is GarageBand not using the Velocity Engine?
    Additionally, if I make any changes to the chapter info in GB3, I have to go through this painful 40+ minute process once again. Tools like PodcastAV and ChapterToolMe can take existing m4a files and simply pass it through unchanged, only modifying the chapter info. Is there a way around this?
    Also, is there a way to add podcast chapters while recording? When recording, I can't select the podcast track to the "add chapter" button...
    Gotta say I'm disappointed so far.
    17" powerbook (1.67)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    OK, i have played a bit more with Iphoto and GarageBand. It is really the size of the pictures. The original size of my pictures is 2048x1536px. If i make the pictures much smaller, i can add them from the mediabrowser into the podcast.
    What i now don't understand, why does it work if i drag them from the finder into garageband without editing the size? And what dimenson should the fotos have for optimal performance in the cast?

  • Hearing The Affects Of Audio While Recording

    Hey guys...I don't understand why this is happening...Anytime I rig my bass guitar to logic and try to tune it nothing happens on the tuner...but I see there is audio feed jumping up and down on the specific fader. Also when I want to use auto tune...as my singer is singing..she cant hear the affects until AFTER the track is recorded....strange? Please help thank you.
    Also...just thought Id throw this out there.... does anybody know what compressor the Logic compressor is modeled after??? because that thing is a beast! I love it---

    Turn Software Monitoring on in your audio preferences - now real time signals are fed through Logiv's mixer and you can use plugins in real-time.

  • Is there a way to monitor audio while recording video on iphone?

    I use an external microphone with a y-splitter for plugging in the mic but I can't get any sound out of the headphone side. Don't know if it's the adapter or if the phone just doesn't do that.

    There are some special microphones made for iPhone use that provide headphone output, such as the iRig

  • Recording videos while recording sound?

    Hey everyone. Well I just got a new MacBook and I wanted to make some YouTube videos of me playing my guitar. How exactly would I record this? I have tried on iMovie, but I couldn't find a way to record audio and video at the same time. If anyone can help that would be awesome!

    You will need a miniDV camcorder (not HDV or AVCHD). Connect your camcorder to your Mac via Firewire. Turn your camcorder on to camera mode (not playback). With most miniDV cams you don't even need to insert a tape or be recording, the camera just needs to be in camera mode. Start iMovie. You can capture the audio + video right into iMovie.
    ps If your camcorder has an external mic input, plug in a decent mic and you will get better sound than what you get from the camcorder's internal mic.
