CORE AUDIO DISK TOO SLOW OR SYSTEM OVERLOAD ( -10010) I don't have anuthing else running , is it just the internal sound card ? not powerful enough ? I'm a new mac and logic user so eh... help please ....ta

That's actually quite a number of heavy-duty plug-ins. If it's all happening at once, your computer will be working very hard indeed.

this is your problem. The plugins you are using, and at the same time, are very heavy going. Although memory will aid to a limit what is required is more processing power. No short straws here i'm affraid.

The meter on the left will indicate CPU usage, while th one on th right indicates disk usage I think, can't be too sure as I've been using nuendo for a while now. Any, this is where the PC guys have been moving ahead in leaps and bounds with their dual dual core opterons and athlon X2 CPUs. The following site gives greater indication of what I mean:

With the machine you have I would advise that you freeze the instrument tracks and see how things go from there.
