Need lots more info: Mix or HD? # of tracks Recording to FW or SCSI? # Tracks per drive # Tracks playback Edit density # Plugins in use Anything that gives an Idea of the stress of the system. If you're recording one track to scsi with no plugins or playback, you have some bad hardware somewhere.

If everything else seems fine, check that your atto card's burst setting is correct. It should be '32' for a PCI-DC or SCSI/64 kit and the new UL3D should be '128'. I recently had a PCI-DC card that kept resetting itself to 512! Which was causing -6042 errors. HTH.

Hello, Definitely check the PCI burst rate and sync rate on the card. Heres the recommended settings: For Pro Tools
