catsongs Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Aloha from Honolulu, Curious if anyone knows of an alternative to Creationauts' LP Colorizer "Color Tracks" to color the mixer channels in the Logic Pro mixer all Pro Tools (and other DAWs)? See attached. Fabulous idea, just a little dear. (I could buy a couple of plugins for the price of the LP Colorizer!) How hard would if be for the folks at Apple to add this to LP? Mahalo!

StudioQ1 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I don’t know an alternative. My two cents though. I thought I wanted it for the color tracks. In the arrangement view the colored tracks can get hard to spot in a sea of the same colored tracks compared to default. The contrast is really weird. This is why I turned it off. I just use it for a slightly darker logic base ui now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsongs Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 Mahalo for your thoughts! I use the LP colors to my advantage, where I can. That said, I like what I see of Pro Tools' and other mixers with colored channel strips. Appreciate your experience with "Color Tracks"! Going for those plugins now, for the same price... : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted May 12, 2023 Solution Share Posted May 12, 2023 I believe there's no alternative to what Arnaud from @Creationauts has produced with Logic Pro Colorizer. As far as I know that's still the best there is for the purpose of customizing the Logic Pro GUI. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I am not sure I got your point, but you can also control the opacity of the colour you set for the track so it blends with the dark background and become less contrasting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will fixed one of the major pain point: the difficulty finding the element you want to edit and identifying elements from the table. We added custom buttons styles. ...we are excited to release it! to all of the logic pro help community who support us and use the software....thank you so much!!

I appreciate the reply. This helped a lot. User error. Don't have time to fine tune it rn just want to make music but when im bored later I may try mixing that with the normal and selected track colors on the arrange and mixer bc i still think on this quick fix it contrasts rather weird. I guess my question is why when its set to white is it contrasting with a seemingly default logic grey background? is it one of those cases where the absence of color makes it so the original ui element remains? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creationauts Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello again, it's Arnaud from Creationauts. Thank you guys for the enthusiasm. We are aiming to release the Beta on the 15th of June. So depending on the bugs to assess, it should be there sometime over July. Let me know if you have other questions. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creationauts Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Just wanted to react to my latest post...obviously we are late with the release 🥹 We still don't have the beta test ready..so this can push back to late July. sorry 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creationauts Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Hi Logic Pro Forum! Sorry I forgot to circle back around here. The V3 is live now and available here 😇 We worked hard on making an editor that is just a pick and click. We basically recreated the whole logic interface in svg and made that editable. Let me know what you think 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewdman42 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 wow, Impressive. Might end up with a lot more user themes from this, but mainly the ability to easily fine tune one or two elements as needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudioQ1 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 This update is awesome. So easy to make my own layout now. Fixed the piano rolls horrid look to my eyes finally. Thank you creationauts 100% worth the 10$ upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creationauts Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) to follow up with @StudioQ1 ask, if you wish to have only the selected or unselected track coloured , just set the opacity to 0 with the use track colored enabled on the track you wish the color to be absent. It will revel the original background color. Use track color is actually a coloured layer sitting on top of the channel strip background.

JakobP Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) I noticed it says "Fex Mode" in the track inspector... 🙂 What's also strange is that the plugin names aren't visible in inspector ? EDIT I see now that we're looking at the Colorizer, not Logic, which could explain the looks of the plugins (?) And I guess the "Fex" bug won't be too hard to implement a fix for... 😄 Edited December 21, 2023 by JakobP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will add that in the next update, and also fix the typo for "fex mode" ^^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
