I'm not sure if I'm recording the Midi right, or even using the right terminology.  I have a 
keyboard pluged in via usb.  I am trying to record using the instr tracks or the tracks 
labelled as specific instruments (grand piano, trumpet . . .) 

When it records, notes show up on a staff, but when I play it back, there is no sound.

Can you use pre programed instruments with an external keyboard in Logic Express?
Also, do you have to move an apple loop tracks into an audio channel in order to hear 
them?

Thanks for all the great feedback,
Zac
