Thanks. > Core Audio Overload is a nasty, annoying problem that has plagued me for years through every computer (G4 and G5), every operating system upgrade, every version of Logic, any amount of tracks, any amount of plug-ins, or any other variation of conditions. It seems to be mostly random but unfortunately frequent. I personally believe it is a problem with how OSX handles data transfers either from hard disk and/or from DSP cards (I am using two UAD-1 cards) or converter (I am using a MOTU 828MkII). I have tried many bits of advice from LUG folks, UAD forum folks and others and, though some of these methods may reduce CPU load or disk access rates, I have still not found anything that has helped me avoid seeing this particular problem occur repeatedly during every session. I would love to find the silver bullet that kills it, but I fear it is in Apple's court and still doesn't seem to be on their radar. FH
