Re. combining midi input from all channels into the channel being recorded
hm... this feature should be in effect only when a MIDI track is set to Omni or it's in Auto-monitor mode and currently selected. Check that out: turn off all Omni tracks and all monitoring, including Auto-monitor. This way you'll be sure that the only events that get captured and recorded are those that match the MIDI track's channel and nothing else.
