Default DAW utilizing multi core?

Of course, we have to change the way we
write applications to take advantage of this.
There is likely no simple answer to this,
but I was curious as to whether most VST
hosts for instance, will spread the plugins
across cores, or whether this is one point
of quality split in the hosts out there.

Most, schmost.

Pick a DAW and research it. I think SONAR and Reaper
both do... but I would have to research it...

I haven't been CPU bound with a DAW since I got off
the Athlon 600 machine I used from 1999 to 2004.
Even then, Win95 and FAT32 were much more troublesome than
the processor speed.
