People do get hurt...namely the people who code the hardware, so don't kid yourself its not a harmless exploit. Do you really think this is thier second job and they just solely want to code program for you to find a way to misuse thier product from it's original intent. There are other programs...such as Computer Music's MUZY that will do the same thing, but you can save your projects and work on them later and not have to leave your computer on and the program running....all for the price of a magazine at the book store (plus it comes with free synths).
Yet, I'll agree that I've sounded a self-rightoues donkey. In all earnestness, I do hope you all try FL Studio, I've been using it for years, it is still my main DAW. It costs but a few video games (being that I recommend the XXL version). I'm not really interested in what you can or can't afford....if you can't afford it then don't use it. I'm still using a CASIO VL-1! You only have to buy FL Studio from the website for free uprgades for the rest of your life so you won't be paying like the other DAW users...this in itself is incrediable. Besides, I don't think the other program that you mention has all the other functions that FL studio has to record in quality. Plus it really sounds a pain to do it your way.
Best of luck with whatever you choose, integraty does have a corelation with musical quality and productivty...yet, there is nothing wrong with exploring so go and play. I'll heed my position on this and bow out. Peace.
