So to give you an idea how it works.
You have successfully recorded 128 audio tracks from a 30 minutes orchestral performance, but right there when you hit the stop button and saved your session there is a powerfailure. Everything goes down. Now big parts of your audio is totally gone because your audio was just recorded to RAM and not yet fully transferred to your external USB Harddisc.
Hi Firechild, I've redone the test without disk cache... I'm uploading the video on youtube right now...

It works perfectly... only thing that disk activity went up to 50% .. and in only one little spot went to 79%...

editing the tracks (cutting, doing a fade) it's pretty fast, considering the number of the tracks..

Video following soon..

Regards.
