In order to record a turntable into your audio interface you’ll need a Phono Preamp.

You plug the outputs of your turntable into the phono pre. Then take the outputs of the phono pre and plug those into the line inputs on your audio interface.

You then have to set your inputs on a stereo audio track in Logic to match where you plugged in your phono pre.

Here is a link to the phono pre I use for my turntable. It’s 50 bucks and works great.
