Okay I'm going work on that and post it after this weekend. It isn't easy. At one point I had a boolean splitter going straight to the enable of 4 spheres and TRUE not enabling them. When I copy&pasted the 5 patches (which had NO OTHER INPUTS) to a new blank comp, they worked A-OK. LOol! That's the second head growing out of my shoulder in mad frustration btw. I intend this series of Marcos to be open source and maybe the basis of a plugin if someone with the chops cares to do so. Just wanted to keep my powder dry and all until I had them up and running. Can anybody advise what License or © text to use so people are free to use and modify but not exploit in commercial ways (like sell without my consent)?
One of many reason I use Macs is because I can get the gremlins running (when I've used PCs in other peoples studios I've had their PCs give kittens). I have been experiencing some weirdness in QC the last month or so and am not sure it isn't my venerable Mac having a laugh on me. If in knew more QC stuff I could say if it's abnormal or not. Massive slow-down on save dialogue is one recent oddity.
