| I do sample based music as well and the things that improved my sound the most was getting decent monitors(Dynaudio BM 15a) together with investing in the acoustic of my room(about a grand in acoustic modules). Hearing what you're doing definitely helps. Second the Distressor was one of my best infestation ever, I have two of them now, would like to have three, gives my that pressure no Plugin is able to deliver. And a good good EQ like API 550A or Focusrite ISA 110. So you have a decent channel, can rerecord stuff and so on. This stuff makes much more of a difference than the convertors, in my opinion. Good convertors make a difference but good EQs and compressors are much more obvious. Keep the Mackie, (Daft Punk is using one). It's great to have it for parallel compression, whatever. I do like Allen&Heath stuff more though, colors your stuff in a cool way.
