okay it seems like Logic X ALWAYS sends the position pointer when starting playback, and this can’t be disabled:

when the AR is receiving transport, it also listens to this pointer, and this too can’t be disabled.
In this particular case, we’re working with existing Logic projects and want to record AR audio for different segments within songs… there are some breaks & pauses etc., so using chain or song mode for individual segments would be the way to go.
But as we can’t always start from the first bar in Logic, but have e.g. a part that starts at bar 53, it makes the AR start from some weird offset, and it is “quite complicated” to create chains which line up nicely.
best would be to filter out song position pointer somehow… lol computorx
