In case anyone else thinks this thread might be irrelevant, please let me take a minute to explain how it came about.

Some of the young people we teach have lots of talent, but no money - they can only dream of some of the equipment lists displayed on this forum. We designed a system for them based on any old single core PC running entry-level Power Tracks, with a $50 mixer connected to the line-in and the line out straight into a domestic hi-fi.

Some of them doubted that such a system could work at all and so the test formed part of a demonstration. Many of them are now producing amazing quality from these systems, but the important thing is that it is enabling them to develop as musicians and composers. This is why I think it's relevant - music should be available to all. If we tell the kids that good results can only be achieved by spending big bucks, we do them a dis-service.
