Does anyone know if REW is still actively developed? Latest Mac version is for 10.3. on their site. Otherwise, any other suggestions for cheap room calibration software for Mac (Big Sur, M1)? Ideally something that can provide an average from a number of samples. I used SysTune previously, but I just want something simple that can be used with a cheap test mic to get studio frequency response for the purpose of informing room treatment decisions. Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, I already tried that but it didn't have the desired result, unfortunately. Cheers,

Like I already said it's 10 years or so of habit, why change what works?

Hey David, yep I understand the other options, thanks. But that doesn't explain by this is not configurable, all of the others are. I'm not sure what you mean by "previous version", but as I said I'm coming form Logic 9 and dealing with 10(?) years or so of habit and muscle memory. I don't want to learn another way to do it, though it looks like I will. The way the tools were organised in Logic 9 tools menu worked just fine for me, regardless of the other shortcut options available in 10.6. It if can't be done, that's fine, but I stand by my comment that it's a bit odd, as the whole point of configurable key commands is that they are user assignable. Why would there be an "anti-use" case for not allowing "select pointer from tools menu" to be configurable? I can only assume that it's an oversight in the programming, as there are literally hundreds and hundreds of obscure and likely rarely user Logic functions that can be freely assigned as key commands. Cheers,

While I understand that there might be certain use cases for this (eye tracker?) I don't think this is really much of an an issue. The Tools Menu always opens so that the pointer is directly over the Pointer tool. Which means the Pointer tool is reached by the key command for the Tools menu itself + click; and that's why it shows up as "Escape" in your screenshot. So for pretty much all normal cases there simply is no need for an additional key command here. Thanks so much mate for sharing with us that you don't see this to be much of an issue! I'm aware of how to select the tool. This discussion is about assigning key commands. Thanks, but I'm not here to argue my use case with you.

One other thing please... The pointer tool is in the actual Tools Menu, but it does not show up as configurable in the Key Commands window under Tools Menu, see attached. This seems odd. Basically I wan to get Pointer assigned to 1, rather than ESC, in the Tools Menu, but can't work it out. Pointer is in the actual tools menu But, no "Pointer Tool" in the Tools Menu Key Commands window... When I search for "pointer" I only get an option for Various Windows, not Tools Menu.

OK, got it. Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much for the response David. Nothing shows up when searching "tools menu" in the Key Commands window. Only one item shows up when searching "tool menu" and that is "show tool menu" which I have already assigned as required. I can't see how to get that menu to show up like your screenshot with all of the tools displaying. I can find individual tools, but not that menu. (I do have screenshots but can't see how to easily attach those. Do screenshots have to be hosted elsewhere and liked to? I can only see adding images using the image url tags option)

I recently updated from Logic 9 to 10.6 and am in the process of setting up key commands. In Logic 9 "esc" opened the tool menu and then pressing numbers 1 through 0 selected the various tools. Example, "Esc" then "1" would select the pointer tool. I've updated the key command so that "esc" opens the tool selection menu in 10.6, but once the tool menu is opened, there are now letters assigned for tool selection. I want to reassign the numbers 1 through 0 to the tools rather than the existing letters. Note that this is for when the esc has already opened the tool menu. I've tried to work this out with no luck. Any help appreciated! Thanks,
