yo!

i just thought about it all. is it even possible to make studio-sounding
very-hi-fi stuff in realtime, with software? just take a look at Cooledit's
reverberation. on my p200, it takes 5 seconds to reverb some 2-second wave.
i know there are 1000 GHz pentium3s nowadays, but but but... :)

and if a realtime reverb plugin doesn't sound like a Lexicon, should we
bother using it? (well, i don't have money for Lexicon, that's why i'm
using pc with soundcards :))

i believe in non-realtime music-making. currently i'm in the final state
of planning my tracker that uses Csound to make the actual sound, and
it would be semi-realtime. i mean, if you pressed "play pattern", it'd
calculate your pattern to a wav and play it :) (actually "csound -odevaudio"
should/will work well, but what if the cpu power is just not enough...)

anyway, "effects" are simply non-realtime plugins? :)
