Logic 7: Enviroment Question, A question about audio objects. Options

[_Alex_]

Okay i have a general question. Im starting a project from scratch (just a empty logic template) and i want to have the ESXP24 play in track 1. So heres my logic. i create a track in my arrange window then go to "environment" to create a "audio object" with intentions of making an object and in the I/O plugin part i want to select mono-> then exsp24 then assign the object to "instrament 1" and in track one select "Instrament 1". Thats was my plan, but when i go to environment to make the audio object, the object is empty and just says "off".That is my main problem. However there is a preexcisting audio object that is "on" but in the I/O plugin part will only let me select imputs 1 or 2. It wont let me choose between mono or stereo and let me choose the ESXP24. Im sorry for brothering you guys i am just trying to understand how logic works better and assumed you guys had a better understanding. I thank you in advance. -Alex

Thank you so much for your reply! There was just one problem that i dont understand.

I created my audio object and selected device: "core audio". Then i created my instrument object in the same enviroment plane.

BUT: My audio object still just says "OFF" when its expanded, and in properties the "channel" part just says "OFF" as well and does not list any channels.

Do you have any idea why it would say that?

I do confess that this was not a totally blank template when i started. There were other midi tracks that were in the arrange window. But, i didnt think it should matter.

Thanks again
