Disappointing Update
Unfortunately I’m firmly in the “don’t like the new look” camp also. I and my engineers have complained about the new look being hard on the eyes, after staring at a monitor for hours during a session. This is run on a purpose built, high performance machine built strictly for audio production. I don’t understand why Apple wants to make it look like an iOS device. We’ve also experienced a bunch of operational bugs and had to return to 10.2.4.
This is a major update. Other places on Apples site will warn you about backups before updating (always a good idea anyway) but the updates section of the app store didn’t say that and we got into trouble.
I love Logic, I’ve been using it since version 3 (a long time!) Logic X is also great and some of the new features here in 10.3 will be great when it’s sorted out, but till then we’ve got to hold off. As a “Pro” app we need this as a tool to do professional work, not to spend time sorting out why something is not working or how a feature was changed while a client is looking over your shoulder. Change does not necessarily equal innovation.
As the hardware is solid and 10.2.4 still runs fine (as does V9) I have to say the issues are software related in 10.3.
