As i do live recording often with logic, my fear is of the dongle being accidentally removed or the fifewire cord to my interface being pulled out . This is why many opt for a dedicated hard disk recorder. As i have never had a problem with crashing while doing a live job it seems these weak links in the chain could be removed thus making computer based live recording a more "professional" option.
