Um, not quite...

I'm using Ableton Live 5.x with an Edirol FA-101 firewire interface, 
and running at about 4-5ms latency.

I use it primarily for live (no pun intended) processing, and the 
FA-101 functions as both my mixer and audio matrix.  The extra ins 
and outs are patched into external processors, and all routing and 
levels are controlled within Live.  Before the CPU spikes, I can 
usually get up to 4 or 5 plug-ins running on each channel (2 inputs + 
effect send/returns) dependant upon just which plugs I'm using.

This is on a 12" Powerbook 1.33Ghz with 2gigs RAM.
