I'm using rakarrack with my bands every now and then to try out effects.
I'm even thinking about using it live, especially stuff like the Arpie
and Harmonizer effects are very cool to use within a band. With -p128
(my netbook can't go really lower) I barely experience any latency when
I'm standing in front of my full tube half stack.
