Yes, I have. I believe Ken Restivo, Atte Andre Jensen and many others too.
We have dedicated hardware for graphics, why not for
audio ?
There are manufacturers selling dedicated PCI-cards to do VST-plugin work and
free your cpu of that. But whats the purpose of running some piece of (almost)
generic software on generic platforms, when you still need specialised
hardware?
Of course you can buy dedicated audio-hardware. Its called keyboards and
synths and mixers and effects (outboard).
But isn't it easier to have it all in software and carry it around on your
pc/laptop/usb-stick?
Please give us some pointers to help you improve performance on your definitely
un-tuned and probably mis-configured system before making our work bad in
general.
Have fun,
