Post Production???

[Playback]

I think I posted this in the wrong area so please shed some light for me?
Asking all slutz what the right Post Production console and surround monitors for Films and Music is?
I have most of the gear but need Console And Monitors.
I have my eye on a few but wanted the slutz view first.
I have a control 24 but want to go ALL Analog.
Should I build a custom console? tonelux style or Buy a new one Neve.etc..
Not worried about the budget.
I get the whole idea in "The Petition to Stop 'Project Studio' Technology" Thread.
But Post is the real answer to the problem.IMHO
Thanks in advance.

i would imagine that never 88R or SSL 9000J or K (i'm not real sure on the difference between the j's and k's but someone will be able to fill you in) are what you should look at if you have that kind of budget and insist on analog. however, there are many digital consoles out there that would be worth looking into. neve and SSL both have digital consoles made specifically for post work. other companies do as well (like the sony oxford), and i'm sure others will be along to fill you in with more details. high end digital consoles sound quite amazing. it has more to do with the design and quality than analog v. digital. dig? hope you find the right console man.

Well if you've got three quarters of a million bucks lying around you might want to pick up a Neve DFC or Harrison MPC, but then of course you'd need to find someone to run it, and keep it running, too- these are complex beasts.

Neve 88R and SSL 9000 J&K are really music consoles, not post (unless you count a scoring stage). Of all, the 9000K is probably the closest since at least it has a real L,C,R panner.

The digital consoles indeed seem to rule post these days. In the high end, large format territory, Neve has the DFC and MMC. SSL has the Avant and the C200. Euphonix has the System 5. But the big boy in film is the Harrison MPC.

To get something that is analog and really suited to post, the best bet is to find a Harrison Series 12.
