----EDIT----

Have found the issue - soundflow gets upset when Render Friend is also used. If I've fired a macro from render friend (used mostly to send to rx and render rx) and then try to fire a soundflow macro the error occurs.

I prefer to use render friend for RX macros as it's on screen buttons, I can keep my hands on the mouse/keyboard. I know soundflow can achieve the same thing but I'd like to not sacrifice my current workflow entirely.
