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.
