Hi Rob,

I might look into what Dan mentioned.  LiSa is perfect for the
application you're looking into, if I understand it correctly.  You
can record sounds into LiSa's buffer, then play it back whenever you
want without having to load another file.  It even manages its own
memory, so you won't have memory gobbling problems if you change
samples.

Cheers,
Rogan
