What about speakers. As I read here some time ago, people felt unsafe with ADAM S3As... being to coarse in the highs. As I heard them, they feel good to me. Is it bad idea to have them for mastering? Or B&W is the must? ;-)

Analog gear: I thought about Massive Passive, (not essentialy Manley) Vari-MU and perhaps GML eq for chirurgy? What Mutiband compressor (if any)? Is that enough for start?

Converters. Would do the Benchmark ADC1&DAC1 do the job?

What about console for routing? I don't expect to do it with mackie mixer ;-). This is the most unexplored area for us. Don't know any simple&elegant solution.


thanks
I would suggest something else instead of the MP(unless you buy the mastering version).

I think the Vari-Mu and a Sontec is better idea(2 different colors that work well together).

Use the Waves mastering bundle for the digital stuff.
