DEVO Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I keep getting the following error message in Logic Pro 8 after a crash. System overload - The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time (-10011) For info, I have a brand new (two months old) Macboook Pro with 4 Gb Ram and the very latest processor and leopard operating system. Surely this cannot be normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeddigger Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Unfortunately, overloads happen @ times, but you can do a few things to minimize them. Look up Overloads in the manual, you'll find info to help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Yip, everyone gets the overloads for one reason or another. Things like audio recording, effects, and other things that cause the CPU and hard drive to work faster that they are capable. Freezing is one method that helps. Plug ins like guitar amp pro, and Space Design, and others start to tax the CPU. It isn't a thing to worry about and the more experience you get, the easier you will be able to work around/avoid this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrmar Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Third party plugs like BFD and Melodyne can UP the occurrence of overloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILL Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I was recently having a "Disk too slow" error and it turned out to be too hot a signal from the converters, so look at everything, sometimes it can be something that makes ZERO sense.....

Zuelito Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 This has been a really hot topic here and especially on the Apple forum. If you want a lot of info, check out these threads. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1437644 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1444462 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1390457 My personal opinion is that it doesn't have to do with someone's machine per se, but with Leopard and Logic specifically. They don't seem to get along nearly as well as Logic and Tiger. That's why a lot of people with brand new fast machines are complaining and other's with older slower machines are having good performance. A couple of tips to get you started: Turn off your Airport card and other programs. Lots of people have been complaining about poor performance with Airport on after the last Airport Extreme card update. Go to Core Audio in your Devices tab of your Audio preferences, and try playing your projects with AND without the I/O Safety Buffer. One might do better for you. Some have had good results with it checked, but for me personally it kills my performance. In that same window try to set your Process Buffer Range to LARGE. Download a program called Nicer. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9473 It allows you to set priority processing power to certain apps. Open Logic, then open Nicer, select Logic, and set the slider to HIGH. Some report no difference in performance, but some swear by this method. Good Luck!

carrmar Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 The converters getting hot!!! What??? I do not think this assertion is founded on anything. This is not the reason for core overload errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
