You want to improve creativity, buy and learn instruments.
Want to improve mixing quality, improve monitoring situation with a good (AD)DA, nice monitors and acoustical treatment.
Just installed my SSL Alphalink MADI AX with my SSL MX4 up to my Focal Twins. Unbeliveable clearity... everything is "tightened up", and way clearer. Its so much easier to hear compression, and eq'ing is way easier. Stereofield is wider and there is more space around each sound...
Really impossible to explain in words. But man how effective.
Im a happy gearslut!

Havent really gotten to fully test if yet Colin, but the DSP available is totally up to the configuration. The mixer tracks almost dont take any DSP; while the SSL plugs (like eq/filter, dynamics and buscomp) are rather hungry. I maxxed out the dsp with about 24 channels fully loaded with eq and buscomp (44,1khz/24bit). There is a chart somewhere on the SSL site informing on plugincounts.
That is a rather rare scenario tough, most of the time Id use alot of tracks and busses, and only use the ssl plugs on the busses. Im thinking to get an UAD quadcore to use with it too. Finally I have a latency-compensating mixer
Im only using 2 analog out atm But I chose to get a AD/DA with loads of channels, so I dont have to upgrade when i buy a console and loads of outboards in the future.
It was expensive as hell. Retail here in norway for MX4+Alphalink MADI AX is about 5k euros. I work in an audio shop so I get better prices, but good gear is expensive.
It was really easy to set up, and worked right away. I havent gotten a single error yet, and it works smoothly.
