yep, get a 3.4GHZ quad core processer with as much ram as you can possibly 
put in, and then it'll still take a while.
you can get programs that will do real time processing, but they are 
typically unaccessible.
There are many audio modelling programs and such that will have EQ's, and 
other rack mounted fx on the screen and you use the mouse to adjust your 
audio properties.
I have not found one yet that is accessible with window eyes or jaws.
you're kind of stuck recording the audio, and then processing it and then 
sending it over the air.
