I've been trying to wrap my head around this one. It seems that to use this level, you have to buy the more expensive Mastering Suite and a dedicated computer from a certified builder. Is it not possible to put together your own rendering machine or use a spare PC that you already have?

Also, what kind of speakers are you using for your system? I'm currently using a pair of Genelec 1031As. But I want to trade them out for a pair of Neumann KH120s. But for 11 speakers my budget would be more in line with some Presonus E5s.
