I believe as contrast ratios increase, and monitors are capable of greater brightness, there needs to be a shift toward using more natural tones in the interface. There would be no room for it to become brighter when selected. If we had the option to assign full red to a clip, where would the color go when we actually select the clip. The choices we have in the palette selection may seem limited, but they allow for brighter tones when things are selected, and darker tones when things are deselected. Perhaps it's because I like to keep the lights low in my studio, and I am blessed to be looking at a nice, bright, large monitor, but I think the colors are perfect. I personally LOVE the colors in Logic Pro X.Īfter staring at the stark, cold colors of Protools for the past 20 years, I welcome the Logic palette with a warm embrace.

Other things I've experience, which it would be great for you to confirm, is that there's no progress bar when doing destructive edits in the Sample Edit window - leaving you to wonder if the computer has died - and when using a function key to turn the region length tool into Stretch mode, the text no longer changes to Stretch as it did in 9. I'm also unconvinced by some of the menu changes - it always made sense to me that the relevant menus were associated with specific windows but many options have now migrated back to the main menu bar.

I can't understand how anyone does not have eyestrain issues with this interface design - all my Logic using friends dislike it and many of us have gone back to using Logic 9 as the ease of use far outweighs the usefulness of the new features. While the dark interface looks quite tidy initially, I find it really hard to work with as the strong contrast with the track colours gives me eyestrain yet I find the black on grey text areas not contrasty enough to read easily, especially if you're using a laptop in a bar on holiday - for example.Ī simple solution for Apple to put in place would be a preferences slider to adjust the backround colour strength for those problem areas - possibly labeled 'style' at one end and 'usability' at the other.

I've sent feedback to Apple on numerous occasions but so far no changes in Logix X styling.
