Are they Harveys only compressors though?

No. As bad as the RNC can be on bass guitar I wouldn't want it to be my only comp either (I don't own one but I've used two plenty in the past). We never could avoid the distortion and find a setting we liked at the same time.

16 channels of the same compressor is abit crazy...

I get the impression that he's mixing in the box (Waves Diamond bundle, no mixer). I think that's probably wise. It also means, though, that he could probably get by with *no* compressors. Or, maybe just one Distressor. For the price of 8 RNC's, you could get 1 Distressor with the Britmod, and still have a bit of cash left over.
 
What's your demo real sound like?


That's the only thing that really matters.

I had planned on buying a Neve Portico, as I love the way a never sounds, and I'll take everyone's advice, and come back in a day or so, and show a different list, after I talk with my partner, and we'll see what's up.

Thanks for the suggestions.

And then I own all pre-amps, but the U5

So I'm only buying the rest of the list.
 
Granted I own MORE than that, but thats what I own, on the FINAL list to keep/buy.
 
Your list is getting there, but if you've got $40,000 to spend I think you can go more high end on the compressors and an outboard reverb/fx box.

Also, I realize that everybody works differently, but I personally would want a mixing board. Or maybe a control surface for your software, something with some faders and knobs to make the work go a little easier.

Also, the mic list is maybe more extensive than it need be, at least to start with. Mics are something that you might want to buy "as you go" as opposed to trying to cover all the bases from the beginning. Buying mics as you need them is a good way to build a collection.

Since you will be mixing in the box, you might want to budget for some more plugins or a UAD-1 or TC Powercore.
