Unable to arm multiple track to record

[Sonified Music]

I want to record piano (input through nektar lx 49) and vocals( input through a USB headset mic) simultaneously but i am only able to record/arm just one track at a time. 

I also tried arming two installment(vst) track to record simultaneously & two audio tracks but same result. 

Can someone please help me and tell me how can I arm/record multiple travk simultaneously.

Using a proper audio interface with proper connection.

Is it necessary to use audio iterface to rrcord multiple tracks simultaneously? 

[John Vere]

It is required to record all audio period. 
On board audio can be used for working in the box. 
Attemtps to record Audio with out a proper audio interface are doomed to failure. 
Watch the videos to learn why.

Got to watch your videos they were informative and very diacriptive thanks.

It's clear now that i need an iterface to record audio.

I just havw one doubt now what about recording two instrument track simultaneously through midi keyboard? 

Is it possible? 

[John Vere]

Yes that’s not a problem as all you do is set the two tracks in record mode. If your keyboard controller is selected as the input to those tracks it will play those two instruments. 
I think you can even use the advanced midi settings to split the keyboard. Cakewalk/ Sonar is a very powerful midi recording tool. 
There’s other videos in my series that teach about using midi and how to record and editing

I tried arming 2 instrument tracks to record but one track automatically disarms when i arm the second one.
