Why do my audio tracks look like square blocks and not those graceful, sinusoidal lines we all love? Many thanks for any hints as to what I might be doing wrong.

The display of the waveform depends on the Zoom level. The more you zoom in the more detailed you will see the waveform.
Just one question, are you sure you are on the latest version of Logic Pro X. I remember that the appearance of the waveform was improved with one of the most recent updates, I guess it was 10.2.1
Hope that helps

Michael, you aren't the first one to complain of this very problem. I think Logic used to have a setting for lo-res waveforms so they would redraw quickly without using much CPU/graphics power, but I don't think that exists anymore, have you tried redrawing the waveforms.
I'm going to check my past messages and see if I can find the thread.
First thing to check is that Logic's Preferences/Audio Recording Delay = 0 (dead center)
if it's not set to zero, set it to zero, quit and restart Logic.
You may have to fo to the Options/Audio menu and select "Refresh Overviews" (at least that's where Refresh is on Logic 9)
Next would be to delete Logic's preferences and let them rebuild to defaults.
Also... what type of audio file are you recording to? Try using WAV or AIFF format, 16 or 24 bit.
I received a number of suggestions, i.e. zoom and the recording delay at 0, but nothing helps. I've also installed the latest LPX update (10.2.3) but this hasn't changed things either.
Right now it's impossible to use any of the audio flex editing tools.
Any other suggestions?
Kindest regards to all who have give some time to consider this issue.

I should also note that highlighting all the project files, clicking on Audio File, then selecting Refresh Overviews, produces no results.
Blocks instead of sine wave.
