go for a midrange console.
The pres and eqs will be workable and you'll get better tracks to daw.
you can allways get some great pres and a patch bay.
Good luck!

What do you all think, would the ratio of 'cost:sound' be improved by buying a Allen and Heath (GL3, GL2200, other $800-1500), SoundCraft (Ghost, 200, Spirit, etc), TAC Scorpion (or other recommended lower end boards) and combining 16 direct outs into a Fulcrum RMS216
or
Would it be better to go with a Midas Venice 160?
Why the consideration:
1. I'd like a mixing board to patch and mix outboard effects on.
2. A little EQ for the final balance.
3. General feel and studio features
*Trying find the right balance between expenditure and sonics. You people are professionals with experience and your opinions know-how are valued, so thanks!
