oh yeah. i forgot to post what i wanted to upgrade.
same as others, my room. im "upgrading" it now, but its damn small [11'6"x16x7'9"]... i have a larger room too [22x35x8] but its that low H that i want much higher [and not have all my multimedia compters in the large room

]
something nice and big. so the band can really spread out. i run bands live in the small room now with good success and suprizingly little bleed [and no cans] but it can get cramped quickly.
i'd like a bigger studio in general.
that and either a better board or a great controller for my DAW. but i think the room carries more impact on the recording than the board/mixing surface.
