simultanious midi and audio recording?

In Logic Express you can record multiple audio tracks AND 1 midi track.

Press the shift key and click on the R button on each of the audio tracks to record then (always with the shift pressed) select one MIDI track.

That's all.

You can set the MIDI channel in the Parameters area to the left of the Arrange window to 'ANY' and if you send MIDI information on different channels it should record all (i.e. like a MIDI file type 0).

If you have a latency issue you need to change the buffer size in Core Audio 'Audio MIDI Setup' - generally speaking, the smaller size you can get away with the better.

the best is to transform miditrack in audioinstrument (with EXSP24 you can choose the same isntrument) then bounce all audio track and audio instruments.

Yes, you can record all 16 channels on one singlr MIDI track then use the command Demix (under the mini menu Region) to have them magically separated by MIDI channel.

If you have a drum track and you want to edit drums instruments separately you can demix by note too.

About latency, that can have several causes i.e. bad audio interfaces, bad drivers, slow MIDI interfaces (single or inside a keyboard), the fact that you are monitoring your audio through Logic etc.

The things to do to reduce the latency are:

1. go into Audio > Audio Hardware and Drivers and set I/O Buffer size to 128 (if you experiment pops and glitches then raise to 256);

2. if you use a synthesizer put in in MIDI local OFF when you use it with Logic.
