logic pro x recording issue

I'm replying to my own question as I contacted Apple support and they identified the problem quickly and I'm sharing this with the community in hopes that anyone else who runs into the problem will know how to fix it. I had inadvertently enabled a OS mic function called "Voice Isolation" which filters out all but spoken voice audio. Apparently voice isolation is helpful when using FaceTime to mute background noise but enabling it will affect all incoming audio including audio from an interface. The setting can be found in the orange mic icon at the top of the screen. Simply turning voice isolation off fixed the issue.
