Hi Marv,

I don't believe I associated my use of the term with anyone's particular 
workspace, nor do I mean to suggest that "serious audio production == 
audio professional". Even "audio professional" is subject to broader 
definition, i.e. it doesn't necessarily refer to someone working in a 
commercial recording studio.

I'll modify my original statement: Sure, you can be serious about audio 
production with an SBLive, but you'll probably get better -sounding 
audio from a Delta or RME device. The difference was certainly notable 
here in my own studio.

Jam on.

Best,
