Let's start with the agreement that I must be a complete idiot.
I've found tutorials on the net to Record system audio to Logic using sound flower and it seems very simple.
I've actually got it to do what I want a few times.
I cannot for the life of me recreate my past success.
I'm at the point of madness here.
I just want to record from Chrome, etc.. any system audio, to Logic.
Please help

1/ Set your system output on your Mac to soundflower.
(so now if you play a youtube video or a song from iTunes you won't hear anything - as it is being directed into SF).
2. In logic set your preferences->audio-> input to soundflower
and set logic's output to anything other than system settings ( built in output is fine)
3/ Create an audio track and set its input to input 1
4/ Record enable the track or you can input monitor the track. you should now be hearing whatever audio is playing on your system (from youtube or iTunes etc) ( actually monitored from Logic)
press R to record it.

Hi indyuser
Thank you for the clear direction.
However, no bueno.
I did exactly what you said and nada.
I surfed around and someone mentioned to reboot so I did.
I also ran the uninstaller for Soundflower and rebooted and reinstalled.
Is there an order in which I should change these settings?
I have soundflower 2.02 which has soundflower 2ch and 64ch. It apparently is not the original soundflower as its been retired
everything up to date here as far as updates for anything and everything.
I can send screen grabs (if you're allowed to post pics on this forum) to show you I'm following the instructions to the letter.

I also read to make a Multi output device in Audio midi setup in Utilities. Doesn't seem to be the answer either
If you are running El Capitan..... I am using this version and all is working fine.

Yes you can.. Use the 'Camera' icon in the reply window to select and upload a screenshot to your post......
That's the version I have.
Those are the settings.
Also, I noticed this time that when I press record my Main levels meter jumped along with the metronome.
But the track level did not.
Drew
is you track record enabled.....?

...and the fat lady has sung...... 🙂
It looks, from the OP's screenshot, that recording has not been enabled for that track.
Nice catch Indy....
It's not solid red, its blinking on and off.
It only goes solid red when I press record.
(and it records nothing but I hear the metronome)
**** you are fast...... I just did the same thing....LOL
I have exactly what you guys have set up here.
What I don't have is when indyuser clicks his record enable on and off I get no sound, and the meters don't jump.
Post you system version of this screen shot... please.....
Press record and have the playhead moving and recording when you take the screen shot so the record enable doesn't blink and the screen shot will show it red
Is that what you wanted?
That does not look like my screen shot. We wanted to see the arrange window, track header, channel strip and the input menu options.
What we are trying to determine is what else could be different about you setup than ours. You could have different i/o assignments, software monitoring may not be on... etc... these requests for images may seem unnecessary but there is a method to the madness.
