Hi Thanks for your reply. Hopefully you can see the screen shot. So my daughter recorded but I think she saw a waveform. Definitely had the channels set to match up - I mean, it records and plays back the sound of her vocals. What I noticed is, initially the region presents with the typical blue "audio track" indicator like you can see on the screen shot, but, when I then select the "warm vocal" sound from Logic Pro, (prior to recording) the indicator changes to the picture of the microphone with an arrow next to it. So If I didn't select the sound from Logic, I am pretty sure I will then record a proper blue audio file....I am using a Focusrite 6i6 and a Shure D-57 microphone (not a condenser) so I don't think phantom power is an issue...but it will play back normal but I can't for example duplicate the track, i.e., things I can do with audio or midi tracks...one item, I set the channels up as "input 1" and "output 1/2", then later on the screen it shows the input as Bus 10, I am learning more about bussing, but I don't think that is the problem here, I see that all of the time when adding effects. All I'm saying is I didn't set the Bus to 10 Logic seems to just sort of do that, but I see that in instances where I don't have this problem. So I just don't get what these green tracks at the bottom are; they are not midi tracks, but are not audio tracks either. Also, if I just put a mike in front of an amp and record vocals or guitar that way (the mike of course going to the interface), I don't have this problem, I set up the same way and get and audio (blue) track...it seems like only when vocals or guitar directly into the Focusrite and then I select a sound patch from Logic Pro that I have this issue... feel like I am making a really simple, basic mistake...any further thoughts? thanks again for any help!
