Recording suddenly happening on end of rhythm track

So this afternoon I tried again and the behaviour was like I was expecting, for some reason. At one point I decided to remove the track and create it again (because I realized I had to create a Stereo track even though I was recording using only one input, because of this Audio Peaks at -0.5 to 0.5 Instead of -1 to 1 Vertical Scale) and then the behaviour reverted to the one I didn’t want, adding it to the rhythm track. I came to the forum and saw your comment re: the device toolbar, and once I picked the correct options there, the behaviour was fixed. So, all I’m saying is that it’s something that has to do with that toolbar. Thank you!!!
