Record enable button disappeared Logic Pro X

I have been using Logic Pro X for several months without any problems but now the Record Enable Button has disappeared.
There is a space where it should be. If I choose "Hide Record Enable" the space disappears, but choosing "Show Record Enable" results in only a blank space where R used to be.
I have checked my hardware settings and my audio input appears like it should.
The problem is not appearing on my MacBook so I tried creating a new file and importing it to my desdtop Mac (Mini), but when I did this the Record Enable button promptly disappeared.

Well, yes.. but thats how you are meant to assign/select an Audio device in every version of Logic... going back several major versions now. You had to have done that in Logic Pro 8 or 9 in the past.. You probably just forgot you had to do so initially.
Anyhow...
The problem described in this thread was caused by incompatible drivers and a change made to LPX during an update...
...and was not caused by the OP failing to select the Audio interface correctly in audio prefs in the first place...
Cheers..

  • I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button. What's wrong?

    I have a m-audio producer usb microphone and since the update on Dec. 22, 2013 Logic hasn't been allowing me to record with it. Logic is reading the microphone as the input but the audio tracks don't have the record enable button and won't let me select an input for the audio track on the inspector panel. What are some possible solutions.

    Certain M-Audio USB devices (along with some other USB2 class compliant devices that don't use drivers) no longer work with Logic Pro X 10.0.5
    At this time it is unknown as to why this has happened. Nor is it known if Apple will need to fix it or if it is up to the Developers of said USB2 devices  to remedy the problem.
    In the mean time, assuming you made/could make backups prior to updating to 10.0.5.... the solution is to roll back to LPX 10.0.4...

    Ever since the update I can no longer record any audio with my blue microphones yeti mic. The "record enable" button that is usually visible in the track header area has disappeared even when enabled in track header configuration. I have also messed with the audio preferences settings but cannot get the button to show up. Please help report this bug to apple using the following link!

  • No record enable button

    Hi, there is no Record Enable button between the Mute and Freeze button. I can't for the life of me remember how to put it there and can't find it in the reference guide or within the forum. How do I make it show up in the Track List?
    Many thanks, Ros

    Thanks a million Steve. I'm not a Garage Band user, but today I was able to record directly into it using the Built-in Input. It automatically set the source as "Stereo 1/2 (Built in input)", so at least I know that the computer Audio Input is working.
    I don't know how to load it as a Logic project, but I saved it as a "Compact Project" to export it to iTunes. Then I imported the audio file into LE. I have the audio file, but not the Record Enable button.
    So finally, I re-installed LE....guess what? Still no Record Enable button, not even in the Tutorial song. I used the Logic Set-up assistant again and chose Built-in input as the driver, rebooted. It tells me it will use the Built-in Inputs as it starts up. It shows Built-in input as the driver in the Core Audio LE preferences, but shows No Input in the arrange window when the Audio track is selected. If I touch Built-in input (as the driver) in the Core audio LE preferences, it disappears from the list of drivers (the only other one is Built-in Output) and asks me to reboot to launch CoreAudio, then the whole process starts over again.
    I did a fairly extensive search in the forum (several pages) before posting my question, but I'll go back through it again.
    The LE7 Manual just states that you should click the record Enable button on the Arrange channel strip. The problem is, it ain't there!
    I really appreciate your assistance and calling up your friend all.
    Thanks, Ros

  • Record enable buttons missing on Audio track headers!?

    They were there previously. There is even an empty space for them which disappears when I uncheck the record enable button when I go to configure track headers window. If this has happened to anyone, please tell me how to get them back. This now on all projects (9.01).
    Thanks, Confused

    Yep, this has changed in L9, as you can now choose different devices for In- and Output you will miss the recording buttons if you don't have an Input selected.

  • Record enable button on garageband

    unable to find the record enable button in the track header on garageband

    Same problem.  I have an Onyx 1620i mixer, late-2013 Macbook Pro.
    Core Audio on the Macbook recognizes the Onyx and its multiple tracks.
    When I create a track in Garageband (using Microphone/Line option) then during setup Garageband asks me to select which of the 16 channels on the Onyx I want the track to record.  The track then shows input level bouncing around as sounds are made on a mic connected to the mixer on the appropriate channel.
    Everything seems to be working fine!  Except no Record Enable button appears on the track.  Can't record the audio that appears to be coming into the computer just fine.
    I am aware that there are issues with Mackie mixers after OSX 10.7.1 (or 10.8 with some models).  Mackie hasn't bothered to keep up to Mavericks.  However I didn't think the issue was "doesn't work at all", but that there were some latecy problems that can cause hiccups.
    So, despite appearances Garageband can't record from this device?  Or am I missing something else to record-enable a track?
    Thanks in advance for any advice about resolving this, or even advice about an excellent Mavericks-capable device that will allow me to mix about 16 external inputs into the Macbook Pro.

  • Can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in?

    can you record your voice in logic pro 9 just as simple as garageband or do you need a plug-in or interface?

    Alas, poor Logic, I knew him well.
    Recording wise, It will be much the same as Garageband but you will need to read manuals as Logic doesn't set things up for you. You must choose input and output devices, create the correct tracks. Logic was designed for professional use so it expects users to be somewhat familiar with recording/editing techniques, in other words, won't hold your hand or be nearly as easy to use.

  • Record enable button not showing up in logic pro x?

    it is checked under the "configure track header" box and even has a blank space for it ("input monitoring" button is slid to the right), but is invisible. checking and unchecking "record enable" slides the "input monitoring" button right and left. this isn't an issue with the built-in mic on my comp but does become an issue with my m-audio fast track. i have the fast track set as the input and output and can hear the microphone through the monitoring (although i don't think any added effects are present in the microhpone monitoring). it just cannot record. what? is this a driver issue or something? logic displays the interface correctly with the name and everything. thanks for any help.

  • How to record stereo output in Logic Pro X

    I am trying to record the stereo output in Logic Pro X on the spare stereo track. In other words what I would like to do is to record audio/software instruments tracks existing in my project as well as my real time performance on top of that (let's say a software synth played using a midi controller) to a new stereo track, just like if I were recording Logic's stereo out to an external recorder except in this case you are recording that to a spare tracks within Logic X.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    Send everything to Bus X - Bus X to StereoMstr (for monitoring)
    Create new Track/Channel
    - for Input choose Bus X
    - for Output choose No Output
    Engage Record on the newly created track and off you go.
    Have a nice day!

  • Where can I find and include the "record" radio buttons in Logic 9?

    Ok, I feel like a real dummy but for some reason when I installed the Logic 9 upgrade (upgraded from Logic 8) all the "record" radio buttons on the audio channel strips were missing. (They are there on the instrument channel strips.) Can anyone tell me how to get them back? I checked all the preferences I could find but somehow I'm not finding the one that will get me back my "record" radio buttons.
    Help!
    Mark

    They should be there on both. Only frozen SI tracks loose theirs (obviously), but my question earlier is irrelevant: even with no input selected there still ought to be a record button on the track header.
    OP: have you looked at the configuration of the track header? ctrl-click in it to find out.

  • Strange Record Enable Button Behaviour

    The record-enable (and record monitor) button requires multiple clicks to respond. Also, record cannot be disabled on a track during playback. Am I alone in finding this a little odd and annoying?

    OK, just tried it, but I can disable  R buttons during playback with one click, on audiotracks and on software instrument tracks. Is your project on the edge of overloading the CPU? That can lead to buttons and knobs becoming less responsive. It could also be that you have a project that was started in LP9  - there's often some misbehaviour, it seems.
    How does it respond in a newly created project?

  • Can I record vocals directly into Logic Pro X with my Tascam DR 680?

    I'm connecting via the USB port on the Tascam. I opened up my "Devices" list under "Preferences" in Logic but it doesn't seem to be registering. I thought there might be a driver out there or some other way to make this work.
    If anybody has any suggestions I will be greatly in your debt.
    -Josh

    Hi Jos, you can't interface the Tascam DR 680 like that (USB) to the Mac I think. It's not an audio interface but a more ore less dedicated stand alone recording/playback  unit. You could try importing the audio data into Logic, but as far as direct recording via usb goes….. I don't think so.
    A rather clumsy way to achieve your objective, if you must, would be a signal flow like that:
    mic -> Tascam DR 680 -> Tascam OUT (digital/analog) -> audio interface / mac  (digital/analog) IN -> rec in Logic
    Have a nice day!
