Deferred disk writes would be a nice addition. It's an x64 app, so why not make the most of it, and make it possible to record all tracks to memory, and write them to disk at the end of recording? It'd reduce disk IO heavily, and would make multitrack recording a far easier process for the system to perform. Writing 24 24/96 tracks to disk isn't easy for a computer. It can cause dropouts. Deferred writes could cause dataloss, but probably fewer than you'd get with IO stalls, so they could be a rather handy feature.
It can't be too hard to code in, either. Windows' Sound Recorder has been doing it for years.
