1024Logic Pro User Guide
• Track Color pop-up menu: Choose whether Logic Pro automatically assigns a color
to newly created tracks, and determine how it cycles through the color palette when
assigning colors.
• Static: Newly created tracks are not automatically assigned a new color. Tracks are
created with the default color for that specific track type, or a previously manually
assigned color from the color palette. This is the default setting.
• Auto-assign - 24 colors: When the first new track is created, it is assigned the
leftmost (first) color in the color palette from the same row as the initially created
track. Each subsequently created track is assigned the color from the next horizontal
box to the right in the same row in the color palette. In this mode, only 24 colors are
used for automatic color assignment.
• Auto-assign - 96 colors: When the first new track is created, it is assigned the
leftmost (first) color in the color palette from the next higher row as the initially
created track. If the initially created track is the top-right color, the first new track
is assigned the first color of the lowest row of the color palette. In this mode, all 96
colors are cycled through for automatic color assignment.
• Region Color pop-up menu: Choose whether regions can be colored individually, or
whether regions conform to the color of the track they are on.
• Marker Color pop-up menu: Choose whether Logic Pro automatically assigns a color to
your newly created markers, and determine how it cycles through the color palette when
assigning colors.
• Static: Newly created markers are not automatically assigned a new color. Markers
are created with a dark gray color, or a previously manually assigned color from the
color palette. This is the default setting.
• Auto-assign - 24 colors: When the first new marker is created, it is assigned the
leftmost (first) color in the second row of the color palette. Each subsequently
created marker is assigned the color from the next horizontal box to the right in the
same row in the color palette. In this mode, only 24 colors are used for automatic
color assignment.
• Auto-assign - 96 colors: When the first new marker is created, it is assigned the
leftmost (first) color in the color palette from the first row of the color palette. Each
subsequently created marker is assigned the color from the next horizontal box to
the right in the same row in the color palette. In this mode, all 96 colors are cycled
through for automatic color assignment.
• Background pop-up menu: Choose whether the Tracks area uses a dark, light, or
custom background. To adjust the background manually, choose Custom and drag the
Background slider.
• Grid Lines checkbox: Choose how the Tracks Area displays horizontal and vertical grid
lines. If you select the Automatic checkbox, Logic Pro displays vertical grid lines with a
default grayscale value. If you deselect this checkbox, you can adjust the grayscale of
the grid lines manually from white to black by using the horizontal and vertical sliders
that appear, or select a further checkbox to assign black as the default color.
• Shaded Loops checkbox: Select to show looped sections of regions in the Tracks area in
a shaded color. Otherwise, they reflect the full color of the original region.
• Show “+” Button next to Drummer Regions: When you select this option, a circular
button with a Plus (+) appears to the right of Drummer regions. Click this button to add
a Drummer region to the right of the existing one.
