Spek, this amazing and free applications for Mac was really helpful to check quickly the quality of an audio file.
But now on Mac OS X Sierra doesn't work. It always crash! I need to replace it with another standalone spectrum analyser as fast as Spek...

Any ideas?


However, I know some programming bases. This is an open source app and I got the source...how to fix the code and get a version for Sierra? (without changing anything, just fixing the support for OSX Sierra)

 

2. Install Wine for macOS and run Spek for Windows.

1. Download a Spek version that works on latest macOS from here: http://www101.zippyshare.com/v/RMnICyUG/file.html

0. Download Spek from official website and apply the fix yourself:

1. Download Homebrew.
2. Open terminal and type brew install upx
3. Go to the spek app, select "show package contents", and navigate to the main binary.
4. Open terminal and type sudo upx -d
5. Drag the binary (not the app, the binary into the app) into terminal.
6. Enter.
7. In terminal, type upx -9
8. Drag binary to terminal again
9. Enter.

• Spek will now be compressed, and will be able to run in Sierra.

1. Open spek!

The entire solution can be found on Spek's github thread, should be the first place to search for a solution imho: https://github.com/alexkay/spek/issues/107
