A clean reboot after each session allow the computer to clear it's mind. Letting it run for days with constant edits, and changes, additions, and such can cause a lot of issues.

Look I know that allowing a computer to run for ever can be fine, IF the Big IF you are not asking it to do what it must to function as a freakin' recording studio!!

What goes on in a DAW software /hardware package is so complicated to start with let along not saving and powering down, then allowing the system to fall into sleep mode, or such.

Add to that the complication of having a serious sound card /driver setup like Motu.

If I do not save, frequently i can risk losing everything. Rebooting is similar in nature. It allows the computer to take a nap, and wake up refreshed, find it's instructions again, relearn it's process anew.

I remember Peter Norton's book on computers year ago, explaining boot up. He talked about how boot up was like having to train a secretary to do her job each morning, giving her a set of rules and guidlines to walk thru. This makes the drivers, programs, and processes fresh and uncluttered.
