HOW DO I GET RID OF CORE AUDIO??!!!

Question

Can someone please tell me if I can use something esle then this completely CRAPPY thing called core audio or am I am doing something wrong?!
I am working with my Logic 6 program, and every time I push the play button (Either just playback or record) the message:
Core Audio-System overlaod. The audio engine was not able to process all the data in time (-10011). The sad thing is, it is not even a lot of data. This happens on even only two small tracks. Is there anything else I can use?
Thank you so much for any suggestions. As you can tell, I am pretty frustrated.

Answer 1

Jord,
No offense intended mate, and I'm not necessarily directing this at you, and all I just want to provoke more thought on the Core Audio issues as well as others, but I think we may well be "settling" here...
Once again:
"Why do we have to go through all this in the first place? If it's "a bug in Logic," shouldn't it be fixed? "
All this talk about order of importance just sounds like excuses. I've worked in the IT industry so I understand all this what you're saying. I just think it's time we're left with something more than just work arounds, and "excuses' which we pass on to each other.
"As long as it doesn't introduce a cascade of other problems"
Meanwhile, virtual instruments mysteriously stop working, and then there's behaviour that looks suspiciously like song file corruption, where the song suddenly crackles, runs slower (sometimes half-speed), then stops. Once this syndrome hits a songfile, it's been my experience that it never leaves. I've got one file that's been rebuilt six times just to remix it, including being buit on a newly constructed Autoload and fresh Preferences file... Now admittedly this may not be Core audio related, but it is weird.
And this is before you get to he fact thart one processor will be slammed red while the other is at zero. You stop and press play on another occassion in the same session, and the other will be slammed while the first one is at zero.
Again, yes, I've tried ALL kinds of suggestions and settings listed on this forum. So please, unless it's something revolutionary or constructive...
I just don't understand why the issues with core audio aren't being resolved quick enough. and you all know I'm not the only one with Core Audio issues. There are people with 2 and 3 times the machine I have getting that same error.
I've been using logic since V2.5.4, and I'd never seen anything like this until Version 7.1. No it doesn't stop me from working, but it's REALLY beginning to try my bleedin'' patience...
Just a real answer to my question, as opposed to Microsoft sounding excuses.
Don't worry Apple/Logic, I'm not mad at ya'. I still luv y'all. (just taken delivery of an iPod AND a 20" iMac for my 9 year old daughters birthday). It's just I'm getting a little worn down by this...
