wayne if you would like to try wavelab 5 I have a "demo" that I ccould mail you.
I used to run SF and switched to wavelab. Wavelab writes the file constantly so when u hit stop its already saved. no need to save anything. also the auto-split feature is just wonderful. Click record and walk away. never run in to file size issues or having to start a new file etc. if you have the HDD space it will just keep making new files (size u specify) until it runs out of power or space.
Let me know if you would like to check it out
