The core audio for Logic 8 has stopped working.

I was successfully running Logic 8, Protools LE and Cubase on a MacPro with Leopard (10.5.5) and a MOTU traveler interface. I loaded on the Ignition Pack bundled with Protools LE (Mbox mini), including Melodyne/Reason/Live 6. This then stopped me opening any of my programs, Logic, Protools, Cubase and Garageband.
I have surfed several forums and found that Melodyne has caused the same problem for others. Following advice given on these forums I have...
- Deinstalled all new programmes, including all links, files, rewire stuff
- I have trashed Logic preferences
- I have completely reinstalled Logic
- I have updated the latest MOTU drivers and Apple software updates
I can open Logic using Ctrl and selecting 'no' to core audio, but when I change the core audio, either to MOTU or built-in, and enable Logic freezes and I have to force quit. I have read other threads with people having the same problem, but after following all the advice the problem is still there. Help!
Just for info: I cannot not open Cubase, Protools or Garageband, but there is no problem with standalone Kontakt 2, Itunes, Soundtrack Pro, Waveburner or Mainstage, using the MOTU.
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

ooch... I've never heard of this Ignition pack!

Sorry to say, sounds like you should reformat your Mac and start from scratch. That's what I would do (after backing up all important files form the Mac).

Then do a clean install...

Sounds like a problem with an incompatible version of either Melodyne or Rewire.

Rewire is used to connect application. Ex. Reason can run rewired into Logic, the audio output of Reason will appear as a separate audio channel in Logic.

Two choices... see if your version of Rewire can be upgraded to the latest version. (don't know if that's even compatible)

Remove Rewire from your system, move the rewire plugin out of it's folder, to the desktop. (run a search)

The other plugin that might be giving you problems is Melodyne, move the plugin to the desktop. Again, run a search to find this stuff.
