    Excited to get SF working for all the producing I do in Logic! To learn the system, I tried to start simple and automate changing the buffer i/o of my project with one click on my stream deck, which I think should look something like:

    Click Menu Item: Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio...
    Open and Select Item in Pop Up Menu: I/O Buffer Size: > 256

    Copy the macro 3 times for 128, 512, and 1024.

    However, I am getting stuck on the first action, as I get the error "Could not find menu item." I tested just doing Logic Pro X > About Logic Pro X, which worked and opened the window. I also tested File > Save As... which also resulted in the "Could not find menu item" error.

    Just looking for tips and tricks on how to get menu and submenu items to open correctly in Logic.

    1. Hi Blake,

      Logic uses a single character for the "...", namely this: "…". You can copy/paste it here from my post or figure out how to type it. On a Danish keyboard it's option+X, but I'm sure it's something else on a US keyboard.

          This makes me feel so much better, I was afraid I was completely missing the concept of how the macro should be working but turns out I was using the wrong character. Thank you!

          On US keyboards, it's OPT + ; to get the … character.

            Can you share the script that you came up with for this one? I've been stumped for a few days on this one. I'm able to get the menu to pop up, but I can't get SoundFlow to find the popup menu.

                Never mind! I figured it out!
