Logic Pro audio error 10011 (drop out)

I bought a new mac mini yesterday that meets all requirements for Logic. I bought it to run Logic as a dedicated machine linked to a keyboard. Apart from the basic software that came with it, Logic is the only software installed on it. Installed it after I did all the updates. Aiport & bluetooth is now turned off, and I don't have it hooked up to a network.
Brand new, 10.6 factory fresh system, 2gbs ram and 91 GB of pure virgin hard drive space. Doesn't get much cleaner than that.
And it wont run the demo songs without the audio error..... and these are their demos!!! I really doubt they would choose demo songs that are too complex to play, so why the errors?
I tried running through the demos and re-running them. This did help, but one demo is still bawking half way through.
This just does not make sense to me. Is there something I'm missing? I am new to Logic Pro, moving up from garageband. Not sure if this:
'System Overload.The audio engine was not
able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)'
is this what many here refer to as ' dropping out'?
Help!!!!
(ignore Model and machine listed below -different machine)

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. I did move demos to the Hard drive (found out that the hard way!)
The thing is the mini is to be used exclusively for music, and is hooked up to a pro88 midi keyboard. 90% of the time it will be used for Mainstage, with some editing in Logic.
It sure does a fine job with GarageBand - no issues there.
My main machine is a MacPro, and I have three other (older) iMacs. So I really didn't want to spend more than I have to. As the Mac will be only used for music and nothing else (not even internet etc.) I was hoping that it would be up to the task of running Logic, as it does meet the needed specs.
My worry is that moving up to a iMac (which would almost double my investment to $1300) might not necessarily do much. I am not willing to dedicate a big machine like a MacPro to the task -way too expensive for my budget.
So.... being new to Logic, is there a chance settings are the culprit. Is current practice to work on a few tracks, and freeze them, then continue to add new tracks? Or is it more common to leave everything un-frozen when working on stuff?
Options I am aware of are:
•Freeze tracks
•Buffer size set to 1028
anything else?
If the mini is not fully up to the task, would the low end iMac really be any better? or will it to be not up to the task either, in which case there is no point shelling out more. From what I have read, the even the biggest machines stumble from time to time.
Thanks again for your input, I do value it!

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

I have an Airport Express connected via optical toslink to a dac/amp in turn connected to speakers. When using iTunes I get message "no speakers connected to Airport Express" and audio sound has drop outs.

Ok, if you are connecting the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to the existing wireless network, then the DSL in the next room is most likely a combination DSL modem and wireless router. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
Although they may only be separated by a single wall, the building material used in that wall may be enough to prevent the AX from receving a "good" signal from the DSL router.
Since I don't know what computing equipment you have available, please check out this AirPort User Tip: AirPort - Optimal Base Station Placement to see if you can get some SNR measurements at the location of your AX. To do this properly, you will want to power-off the AX and only get these measurements for the DSL router.

Logic Pro Audio Problems

Just installed Logic Pro 9 and got this error: "Error code -2 was returned by the Audio driver". Help!

My audio driver is up to date. However after installation it just keeps crashing when trying to open or play or work on a project. Also throwing this message "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011)".

Compile error in drop out stack program

           Node<String> itemStack = new Node<String>();
           String[] items = {"Item1", "Item2", "Item3", "Item4", "Item5"};
           for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                int itemNumber = nextInt(i);
               itemStack.push(items[itemNumber]);
           System.out.println(itemStack);


Anyways. I need help with the logic. As far as I
know, DropOut stacks cannot return something that has
been poped or removed. if the operation (performed n
times) is n+1 times.No empty stack can be popped, if that's what you're saying.
If you examine your assignment, it describes special behavior for drop-out stacks during the push method. It says that stacks are made with a given size, and that when the stack is full, subsequent pushes cause the least-recently-pushed element to drop out.
Your code doesn't do that. It does some futzing during pop whose purpose is unclear to me.

Audio glitches and drops out when using varispeed

So I have a very complex drum part to record and need to drop the tempo about 10% to get it right.
My problem is that I can only get reliable audio when I use varispeed for playback (and even then, there are noticeable "flakey" artifacts); If I try recording anything, I get glitching and after about 3 seconds all audio drops-out.
I tried varying i/o buffer, processing threads and process buffer range, also muting/unmuting the 14 tracks I'm trying to record but nothing seems to solve it.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Chuck

It's not a mac/tv problem, it is a network problem.
Power cycling is simply unplugging the device from power and plugging it back in. A restart is not sufficient, in most cases, to reset the network connection.

Audio from video drops out on burned DVD

Hi,
I've created an iDVD project with two movies and a slide show. Everything is perfect in preview - all sound and images are there.
After burning to a DVD, some of the audio from the main movie drops out/doesn't play. This movie includes mp3 audio, which plays fine. It's the audio from the video that doesn't play.
Weird thing is - the audio from the video does plays where I have it accompanied by the mp3 audio.
The audio for the slideshow plays fine - it's also an mp3. And, the audio for the second movie plays fine - it has audio from the video only and there is no mp3 'soundtrack.'
I've burned to two DVDs and the image disk, and the problem exists in all three cases.
I have iDVD 4.01.
Any help would be really, really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi c
First thought. If the audio is downloaded from iTunes then this happens due
to Copy protection.
Copy out needed audio from iTunes as an audio .aiff CD. Then use this in iMovie.
Just a thought.

Logic Pro and Resolume (OSC/Midi out)

Hi Everyone
Im looking for a way to get my Logic Pro X to talk with my Resolume Arena 4 on the same computer.
What i need is for LPX to send midi outputs to Resolume Midi inputs.
I have found a lot of tutorials on this for Ableton Live and Resolume but i cant seem to figure out the Midi out on LPX?
Does LPX use OSC? It seems its the prefered input for Resolume?
Is there any other way around this? Could someone point me to where to study up on this it would be helfull!
ps. i am also posting this on the resolume forum to see if they can help.
Thanks

When I try and record my Korg R3 in Logic Pro I get background noise from the MIDI-Out.
What sort of noise? Soft clicks?
When connecting the R3 via the USB interface to LogicPro I am able to use is as a MIDI controller to play the software instruments. When I then try and record the R3 via Alesis Linelink I get background noise. If I disconnect the Korg/USB the noise goes away.
I thought that this was something to do with the R3 so I connected it to my MacBook Pro/Logic via EMU Xmidi interface that links a USB interface to a MIDI/In/Out. I got the same noise issue when using the EMU until I disconnected the EMU MIDI/Out to the Korg MIDI/In.
I also get the same symptoms when using Garageband. Not sure if this is a USB/MIDI driver issue or config problem
From what you say here it seems the R3 IS the problem. When you disconnect it the noise goes away. And it produces noise in the same way on a different machine with a different MIDI IF - that would rule out driver issues as far as I'm concerned, unless both drivers exhibit the same mistake... very unlikely. I think you need to ground the R3.
Does the recording (via the LineLink) actually contain the noise? Or is it clean?

Logic pro audio units manager

I have Logic 9 . I have Waves native plug ins which I use in Logic. I updated waves and now when I load Logic the audio units examiner freezes up and all plugs ins are disabled. The window showing audio units being examined opens showing the number of audio units to be examined and then nothing happens at all. I spoke with folks at Waves and everything seems ok on their end. Please advise.

the prob is most likely a bad plug in. some of them don't pass validation, others crash the validation program itself. go to the websites of your plug ins and check you have versions that work with your system version and logic version. make sure you check that the fxpansion wrapper is also current. also, if you happen to have the old logic tuner AU plug in from logic 6, get rid of it. it doesn't validate and the tuner is a built in logic plug in now.

Why are my logic pro audio files saving in my iTunes folder in the finder?

When i go to the finder, in my itunes section all my logic audio files appear and i have hundreds. im not quite sure whether this is normal or not? any explantions on how i can sort the files out and avoid them being saved in that folder in the future?

You could look in File > Project Settings > Recording and there's a button labelled 'Set..' for you to make sure that any of your Logic project files are stored in the right folder - the usual sequence of events is that Logic asks you to define a recording path as soon as you arm your first audio track and a project folder is actually created for you, so.....
I haven't thought enough about how iTunes works (I use it sometimes, that's all) but a playlist or some kind of other category might have a folder containing links (aliases) to the original files ?

Premiere Pro Serious Error: Timeline Blacked Out! Wont Open HELP?!

I was editing, when I nested a already nested Mulitcam Edit Sequence in order to trim it down, and when I did suddenly the Audio Tracks on the Timeline like blacked out, bets way to desrcibe it, and now it says Serious Issue, closes out and won't repon. I restarted my computer and that project ONLY wont open. It is saved and all, plus other projects will open. ANyone had any idea what to do?
Thanks

I recall reading from another user who had an issue when nesting an MC edit, though I don't remember the details, or if a solution was found. You might try a forum search.

Logic Pro Audio and External Peavey Faders

Can someone please advise me on the enviornment for an external Peavey Fader, for use on audio files in the automation area of the Arrange page.

Download the Swiftkick Logic Environment Toolkit and read the e.pdf file.
There you will find the solution to your problem.
If you are not so accustomed with the environment I'd suggest you to read, in order, the files (always pdf) Toolkit, q (quickstart), a (advanced) and then e (examples).

Audio Drop out when editing in Waveform / No Multi track File

Ok so i have a bigger problem. Therefore thats why i am reposting.
I have a 40 minutes video and the last scene needs alot of audio editing. I am trying to export the 8 minute scene to a Multi Track project for soundtrack pro. When i click send to multi track project, i click "Include background video" however when i click save, it exports then gives me the error "Error Sending Selection to Soundtrack Pro" however when I uncheck the "include background video" i am able to open up soundtrack pro and see all the audio tracks but the video is absent.
Its just the multi track that i am unable to do. I am able to export as a Audio File Project and still the video. However when i try to do nosie reduction the audio plays for a few seconds then stops.

Hi Luis,
Thank you for that.
Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue. I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac. Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ).
But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k). ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?
