Maybe I can get some suggestions too.
Looking for an analog mixer $5.000 to $10.000 at the moment.

Fact of the matter is real gear takes money to produce and will sound good. Since you seem so concerned with my studio I am building a hardware studio with vintage analog instruments. I am also buying an analog mixing desk and what is really good about this is that I wont have to record anything into the shitifier that is the computer to make things happen. At the moment I am building the finest DIY dynamics and eq, gear to build a nice studio.

A few hardware fx boxes will be added like
Moog Ring Mod
Moog Phaser
Analog Man Chorus Unit
H3000 harmonizer
Lexicon pcm 42 delay
Lexicon 224xl reverb

I also will be looking for a studer A-80 For the master channel.

As far as interfacing this with the computer I will use the RME digital card and a few apogge ad-8000. Yes only 44.1k I can't tell the difference between that and 96k...
Like... At all! Maybe the rest of you have golden ears....
But my studio wont be based on that. This is how I choose to spend my money.
I know that there are endless possibilities in the computer and great emulators emulating emulations but I am just not that open minded like that. I prefer when I spend money to get gear that costed money to make....
For 20K? Not protools for me sir! I will leave all that for the professionals with the control surfaces and the mcdsp plugins.

Well, I am happy you've found a modus operandi that works for you and inspires you, best of luck with your music. And yeah, I hate overblown sales pitches as much as you do—I think everybody here does.

Just remember this: Your audience does not care a single, shrivelled fig about what gear you use, as long as the music sounds professionally produced and grooves nicely in the right places—and THAT is about the skills of the engineer. NOBODY is going care whether you use a real minimoog or a software emulation, or whether you use an analog mixing console or not. It's not the gear that counts, it's what you do with it.

The less you fuzz about how "analog" your gear is, the more music you will create.
