What Is The "Heap Zone?"

Well, here's a new one - for me at least. Getting multiple error messages, "Not enough room in heap zone Result code = -108." What is a "heap zone," and why doesn't it come up in a search of topics?

And of course, how can I make my own personal "heap zone" that much roomier ...?

Weird.

Thanks so much for responding, but alas I am still despondent. I tried clearing ALL caches on the heavy mode, reoptimizing the ram, but my song tries to open and then BOOM the same error message.
Any other ideas, anyone?

Is it just this one project? I had a song a while back that was corrupted in some manner I STILL don't understand - all other projects opened and functioned normally, but this one kept crashing Logic. I had to export all the audio and MIDI files to a new project template, set up to resemble the old one, of course. Took a couple of hours to export the nearly one-hundred tracks and channel strip settings, but solved the problem entirely. I do wish I had been able to troubleshoot the original problem, but after a day or so of not being able to work I was glad to have the job back!

Good luck -

hey thanks for the responses jason. i ended up doing the same workaround it. i had to open a new project and then load the project from my corrupt/unopenable file. i still got the -108 error message when i loaded it, but then when i pressed ok to the error message the new/old corrupt/unloadable chunk was there under the chunks tab. and i was able to salvaged all my audio files from there and rebuild a whole new project version. whew! i heard that it may be cause by the pug in prerendering. best to you man, thanks again.

The HeapZone means that you should start Todd Heap in your fantasy league because he's going to find the end zone this week.
