Hello everybody!

I need your help. I have to manage small DAW based on ProTools HD system. Budget: ~EUR40,000.00

I need to understand how is reasonable this compilation or not:

· I need ONE, but high class tube mic with ONE high class mic preamp/compressor/eq for recording pop-style vocals (in general). It would be very good for me to know outstanding industry-standard combination of studio mic/preamp for pop vocal recording (if it is)
· 2 or 8 ch. A/D converter for ProTools HD sound routing specially. Apegee Rosetta 200/800 is good solution (not orginal Digidesign Protools HD converters) I heard. Or anything else?
· Well, Protools HD cards + G5
· STANDALONE final compressor/limiter (like TC Finalizer etc.) for final mix processiong. The sound goes from HD digital OUT to final comp/limiter digital IN. Then it goes to the second G5 audiocard digital IN to Bias Peak (for example) to make final stereo mix bounce.
· I need 2-ch. D/A converter to send the final mix to studio monitoring interface (like Presonus Central Station http://www.presonus.com/centralstation.html ) to hear all the sound which I ugly did.
· Active acoustic monitoring system Genelec 31A or 32A. I like Genelec's hi freq "sharpy" sound.

That's all.
I ask you, gentlemen the professionals, to help and give me an advice to complete this kind of studio!
What the best indastry-standard couple of tube mic/preamp for pop-vocal recording? Converters for Protools HD? Final stand-alone compressor/limiter with aes/ebu in/out?
Neutral sounding studio monitoring interface? Active monitor system?

Thank you very much in advance and excuse me for my ugly english.

Thank you for quick response, Simon!
I plan to have two G5s. I wrote I would like to have hardware final comp/limiter with digital ins/outs, something like TC Finalizer or better. It will be between Protools audio out (master output) in the first G5 and audio input of audio card in the second G5. I also plan to use Logic Pro 7 with much of soft synths. It is possible to use Protools HD and Logic 7 in one G5, one audio card (or two audio cards) simultaneously with no problems?
Do I like Apogee? smile.gif I don't know. I only heardfrom my neiboths that Apogee converters sound better than native protools. I had no chance to compare, bacause I wrote here a meassage. Have you tried Trac 2? You wrote you like it. What do you think about Manley Voxbox combo http://www.manleylabs.com/containerpages/voxbox99.html
?
Thank you for Neve and Nemann! smile.gif
Have you some infos about newest final compressors/limiters. I have TC Finalizer 96 now. I would like to have better than I have smile.gif)
