Next time it happens open console and search for this:

IOAudioStream


You'll probably find some messages like this:

5/4/11 6:21:47 AM    kernel    OAudioStream[0xbaef300]::clipIfNecessary() - adjusting clipped position to (c075,fd9)
5/4/11 6:21:47 AM    kernel    IOAudioStream[0xbaf1d00]::clipIfNecessary() - Error: attempting to clip to a position more than one buffer ahead of last clip position (c073,fd9)->(c076,7e9).

Apple will likely blame it on your 3rd party plug-ins like they did to me.(Sooperlooper or Mobius) Yet I can use the plugs-ins without problems on the same hardware running Win7 instead of OSX. The first 6 months I went to the genius bar, and those guys don't really understand the whole doing live music on your computer thing so you dont get very far.......I've had them send me new install disks, even a whole new laptop. Now I have the email address of a guy high up in support, from all the toubleshooting I've done with apple and everytime I have these glitches I copy and paste the text from Console. Then I ask for him to pass that info to the engineers that work on Core audio/Logic/Mainstage etc.

I have a show tonight with nude models present providing visual as well as audio obstacles to the looping. I wonder what will derail me first. An audio glitch or boob. I guess I'll be fine if I just keep staring at my shoes while I play.
