This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. And I suspect I am part of the audience that drives the revenue in this industry.

The middle-aged dad, staying up once the kids have gone to bed, hunched over a box of wires or a laptop with a disposable income to spend.
I've probably spent two to three times as much on music software than I have on music in the last few years. Spitfire audio alone have more of my money than any drum and bass label ever managed to extract from me throughout the 90's.

I've been a dabbler since 02 when I contacted a UK hip hop producer who had produced the likes of Infinite Livez etc by email out of the blue and I went to his house and he recorded some lines of a poem of mine. It didn't make his album.
