We tried a 16mb buffer 5400rpm drive in mark's to see if that would fix the problem and he had it again.
I am under the assumption that it is a quality control problem and not an issue that can be nailed down to one specific thing.
It seems to be somewhat random in its occurrence. Sometimes it happens on 4 channel 24x96 sometimes 2xstereo ( < I believe mark's did it) Sometimes bass heavy shows sometimes bluegrass.
I never had the problem and I tried to get it to happen at home so I could investigate further but to no avail.
I recorded 4x1 at 24/96 and tapped the unit continuously while recording reggae off of the studio monitors which I would think should make this problem arise and NOPE.
My advice is to never run 4x1 24/96 if you want to be sure you do not have problems. I do recommend a hard drive upgrade since I do think in most cases this will solve the problem.
Most gear out there has some type of glitch and when we run gear in the field we will encounter more problems than in a controlled environment so for me that is what I chalk it up to. I guess I have grown accustomed to issues while recording every once in a while
