[RWP] live performance question.

[Colin McDonald]

absolutely you can use fx plugs in real time.
and, depending on the horse power of the computer, you can use as many as 
the processor will support in realtime.
On a mac mini, I have no idea how powerful it is.
For instance, my netbook, running a 1.7GHZ processor and 1 gig of ram, I can 
run probably 4 vocal fx at once before things start breaking up or before 
processor lag becomes an issue.
if you want to run reverb, delay, equalization etc it's no problem.
Just open a track, arm it, and select your fx with record monitor turned on 
so you can hear the changes as you set the parameters of the effect.
You may experience latency on a small computer like that though, so just be 
aware of that issue if you are trying to use the computer with reaper live.
BTW, a digitech vocal processor with all the vocal effects you can handle is 
not much more than 100 bucks these days.
You can find a lexicon mx200 for less than that on the used market...the 
mx200 is fairly accessible and has extremely good quality fx.
Even a small behringer mixer with onboard vocal fx would run you 100 bucks 
or under brand new.
then you wouldn't have to deal with latency.

Colin
