@Lindon @d-healey I figured it out...posting the solution for other idiots like myself that would make this rookie mistake...So when I downloaded 3.6.0 as a clean install(coming from 2.something)...I saw this tick box under settings for "Use Global app data folder for MacOS" I ticked that box...thinking it was necessary while resetting my project settings...I cleared the checkbox and recompiled...all is working now...Always new things to learn and figure out in the world of HISE...
