realtime VST effects use (1 Viewer)

[hanley]

could i set something up so i could use a computer like an effect pedal with a mic or guitar going into a pc, being processed by a vst and out the line out

what software would be best for this?

what sort of latency would there be and does latency vary much between different vsts?


have some oldish computers about the place and was thinking of using one for this sole purpose

thanks

I think the latency would be enough to fuck you up a bit. Might be ok if you're looking to do delay/reverb-style mangling.

isn't there some native instruments guitar effects rack emulation sortware knocking about? an intern at work ran his guitar through it a few times when I played some music with him. in fact, there may even be a thread about it around...

not sure if your skip-dodging frankensteins would be up to the challenge though rob!

as redtape sez: LATENCY!!!

was thinking of mainly using a reverb alright.maybe a distortion too

thought of that but native instruments are normally cpu/ram heavy to reackon thats right out

got a few vst host things and a bunch of vsts so am gonna try it out now

cheers for the info

tried this earlier
first with ableton5.latency was massive.
cant remember the name but got some vst host software and the latency was about 1/10 of a sec.
might try on a better pc some time to see if theres much of a difference
