I'm having a problem getting stereo inputs 1&2 . what comes up is analog 1 thru 8

When you create a new track, make sure the "Format" is "Stereo". If the track is already created and is mono, click on the little "circle" symbol on the channel strip. When it shows 2 "circles" the track is stereo, when it shows one, the track is mono. You should be able to select "inputs 1 & 2" on a stereo track.

Thanks alot for the quick response . That was the first time I've posted a question and I screwed up some how and most of the question wasn't shown. I did everything you suggested and I'm still not able to seelct inputs 1&2 . I opened DP to make sure my rig was setup correctly . Then went back to Logic and am having the same problem .

Can you give me more details about rour rig and problem ?

I'm running an Appogee Mini going into my 828 with s/pdif . When I open a stereo track in logic I can't assign an input 1&2 My only options are mono input channels , Input analog 1 through 8 Or s/pdif 1or 2. I double check my rig by opening Digital Performer and the stereo input Analog 1&2 or s/dif 1&2 are recognized .

I don't have an 828, but I think you should create a stereo output in MOTU Cuemix and pan each input left and right.

Thanks Christian I just found the answer . When I open a stereo track I have to click the buttom at the bottom of the channel strip next to the arrange window , when I do that I get stereo inputs . When I open stereo tracks the button comes up as a single ring . This happens by default . It feels great to have found the answer . Thanks Christian for trying to help me out . I appreciate it . Another problem just came up . All my midi tracks that I program today on the motif are greyed out and I'm not getting any sound . I opened DP and the midi is working fine . So I know its something I'm not doing .

I merged the Motif Midi Tracks that were greyed out . The result was that the merged midi track became un- greyed and playing . Does anybody know why the original midi tracks were greyed out ?

Glad you solve your problem. The region that were greyed out were muted. You can unmute them using the 'M' mute tool.
