>> "Give me an example for a nice looking OS X audio editor in comparison?" Logic Pro X. It looks good and is very functional. It's also a pro DAW. I've used many different DAW's over the years but Logic (in it's latest version) is the only one to have looked any good. However, they have all been functional (easy to find what I need and do what I need to do). Audacity I have always found to have a confusing UI for a product used to do such simple editing. As has been said many times - design isn't about how it looks, it's about how it works.

Logic Pro X is Con-Sumer and not a professional. I did address that Con-Sumer wave editors do look nicer but they are limited in what they can do. For single file wave form editing Audacity actually does more than Logic Pro. It is a good program and you can get a good end product but it certainly isn't professional nor extremely powerful.

  Logic Pro X is very much a pro tool. There are a wide variety of professional musicians using it. For example Swedish House Mafia. Apple has certainly made it more user friendly to non-professionals and it no longer comes with a pro price point but it still has all the power necessary for pros.

    I know you feel that this is true for you. I will just give you a good example of the review from Sound on Sound which is my favorite source for reviews. Quote: Furthermore, the measures that Apple have taken to simplify the program mean that certain ways of working with previous versions now seem to be impossible. For example, previously if you had multiple Regions open in the Piano Roll editor, double-clicking a note would move you up a level and display only the notes from the Region to which the clicked note belonged. Now, double-clicking a note opens up the Event List (or the Score Editor if you hold down a modifier) and there seems no way to get back to the old way. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep13/articles/pro-x.htm http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep13/articles/pro-x.htm Logic Pro X really does feel like a good tool but the UI has huge waste of real estate and many things became hidden. This was also seen in the Final Cut X release and the major move back to Adobe Premier that it caused.
