Hi Simon, the setup was working with a few fixable issues with FX designer during a week of pre programming. As the week progressed adding in more mixes routing and patching the setup stopped behaving. Catalyst would open but whenever i went to open the library window in the GUI it would crash. Ive since tried the same setup on the clean install of 10.6.8 on the show computer which (touch wood) seems to be working ok!
Ill try and recreate the fault on the old OS when i eventually get home and get a profile, would be nice to try and figure out what was biting us!
Cheers
Andy
