now my question is; <div><br></div><div>spending 4k to build a Pi supercomputer can give you more power and possibilities than with a top of the line MAC for example (which will cost just as much, and be a quad core 2.7 intel i7, 1.6GHz bus, 16GB Ram).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m guessing that CPU wize it would be more powerful indeed; even thought it&#39;s a modest one, that&#39;s 64 cores against 4... </div><div><br></div><div>what I&#39;m not familiar to is how supercomputing works and optimizes the work by splitting it into all CPU units. Maybe it does work like getting hard drives into RAID 0 mode, right? Where the speed of file transfer does double up.</div>

yeah, separating individual instruments / voices from a mix does seem like a &#39;just over the horizon&#39; application.  I&#39;d love to be able to have a stereo microphone in the room i&#39;m in now, and separate the sound of the rain, the wind, the TV in the background, my typing at this keyboard....<br>
