If this is what you want, then you need to define a default template. Go to the template page, and right-click on the desired template. When there is a default template, the dialog you mention, should not appear, and the default template is used to host the recorded file.
That was the problem but I never changed the setting. I also noticed that after I put on 9.5.20 my sample rate changed from 44100 to 22050 and my output file changed from .wav 24 bit to MP3. Never changed any of those settings and currently I am the only person to use my mastering computer. Seems odd to say the least.
