I will be setting up a recording area in my new place when i move in. I have never done this before, however i have a budget of from 3-4 thousand.
I am a hip-hop artist, and i would like my equipment to reflect that (focus on vocals)

I have a macbook pro with the standard soundcard and an mpd 26
i will be getting a version of logic soon.

Currently i have been using a the yeti USB microphone, which i thought was amazing at the start, but now i have realized that the quality is no where near what i need.
I want to invest in the Rode K2 microphone, good choice?
I was also thinking about replacing the stock tube with the Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8/ECC88, i know this will void the warranty, but i have heard the sound is much more full

I was also thinking of buying a FMR RNC-1773 "really nice" compressor, however i was wondering if there are better ones for under $1000, also should i go for a compressor like this or a channel strip? why?

finally, i was going to get some basstraps.

What do you think of these? is there anything else I should invest in?
 
You need a good decent interface. But as for mics and channel strips in your case, ide go for the neumann tlm 103 and the avalon 737
 
Hmm, those both look like great options, but are rather pricey..
