It's adequate for experimentation, although the most promising approach for serious music use seems to be via a MIDI interface instead of using the Ensoniq. The MDIdeas card is pretty good for a few games, also. The biggest problems I've had with mine (other than having to rewire one of the audio jacks that was reversed and therefore shorting the output) are: digitizing stereo is a pain, because the digitizer is just one channel at a time; high hum levels especially if your stereo system is not close to your computer. Note that there have been a couple of other competitive products, and I seem to recall that MDIdeas now has a stereo digitizer. For the price I can't really complain.
