Neil -

Knowing your music, studio setup, and experience/ability, I think you
might consider this advice. You work in a genre that really stresses
the core recording resources of a studio, and have been, to an extent,
patching together a studio to achieve that sound. But things are not
working the way you would like, optimally.

So why not start with a blank slate. Find out what the studios that
produce your reference sounds are using to get those sounds and see if
you can get a similar subset of gear together to get you in the game.

You might say, "Well, they are using large SSL consoles and racks of
vintage preamps and processors and a closet full of expensive mics,
and I can't afford that". However, these days, we can buy single
channels of Neve, SSL, API, etc., consoles, and software/dsp
emulations of virtually every piece of outboard gear ever made. There
are a staggering array of mics that are excellent performers for a
fraction of the cost of classic German models. And finally, sampling
technology has turned live performers into an option and not
necessity.

So, I believe the technology is out there to allow you to make your
music as you envision it. Just keep in mind that if your current tools
aren't cutting it, then its time to move on to new ones. That's how I
arrived to the Paris scene over 5 year ago, and may, someday, move on
to who-knows-what.
