Core System Overload 10010, Sequencer stops with this message Options

[brettb]

I have 467 MHz G4 processor with 850Mb RAM.

My sequencer stops, showing 'Core System Overload 10010', with only 3 tracks active, and the silververb plug-in effect, although I am actually using 24 tracks.

It is very difficult to do anything 'live' and I'm wondering what is the cause, and whether I can allocate more virtual memory. If so, how?

Does the size of audio files open in the program affect the running of the software??

Please help!

Are you recording on your OS drive?

Not sure what the speed of the stock drive in that model of G4, you should be able to use the system profiler to find the model number, then you can look up the specs on the web. what you are looking for is 7200rpm, 8Mb cache.

That model of G4 should have the cables and wiring for adding a second IDE drive.
Do the levels appear unbalanced on Logics meters?, if not use the internal sound or headphones to see if the imbalence was recorded, or due to you interface.

You can try playing around with the buffer settings in Logic. Because you have an overload I don't think it's a disk problem.

Not sure that it will affect 5.5, but dowload the Pro Application Support patch.

You also might want to think about upgrading Logic, the freeze function was a lifesaver when i was using my recently retired G4/400.
