That's what real time processing is all about, no matter if it's
hardware assisted or native! :-)

Yep... And the monitor sound is *very* important, especially if
you're singing, nearly drowning your own monitor sound. It's actually
dangerous to sing with poor monitor sound, especially if you're
inexperienced, and cannot feel when you're falling out of the correct
technique...
That means, FX *has* to work all the time, or you might need an
external monitor mixer just for that.

Agree. That's why I'd like to be able to use clusters for
processing. *hehe*
