Distributed Audio

This is pretty cool and almost makes me want to buy some Macs (almost). Logic Pro 7 has the ability to distribute audio processing across multiple computers using ethernet.

This means you have have your main sequencer running on one computer and dedicate another node for plugins and another for virtual instruments. So instead of having one huge super beefy computer you can get the same audio processing power using less powerful computers stringed together.

It's just too bad that Apple forced Logic to drop VST support, this pretty much excludes me from ever switching over from my PC recording rig.
