bet you LOVE recalling the ssl
yeah recalling is pretty brutal. The E series doesn't have total recall, so the assistant has to take pretty detailed pics and notes. But the G series does and it only takes about 20 minutes, and generally the assistant does that too. I have however had to do my fair share and it's pretty boring and your back kills after.

We had an old analogue Studer at the old place:
But when we moved, we ditched the PT HD rig along with the Studer for a Logic set-up and a digital 16 fader DHD board.

Don't forgot TR wasn't a cheap option (only standard on G+ classic). This option doubled the console price (still true with used market btw).

I have a love/hate relationship with analogue consoles. There's something I really like about working on them, some sort of natural, relaxed feeling, but on the other hand I hate doing recalls. I guess I'm spoiled by the easiness of loading up a ProTools session, pulling the snare just a bit lower and bringing the vocal delay up, bouncing a new version, sending it to a client and continue working with another project in less than ten minutes total
As far as realistic dream consoles go, I'd like to try out one of the better Ameks. Something about them kinda excites me.

I don´t think I´d buy a console but this thing looks very interesting IMHO.
It is a console from tree audio based on the API 500 series, so you can fully customize it.
Looks like Reason.

Tonelux do better job with similar concept but for same size nothing can't beat a RN 5088 (ok isn't the same price)

a 72 channel ssl g+ sold in town a while back for 80,000. If You look around you can get a 48 channel e/g series for probably 40-50,000.
But then factor in about 1200-2400 a year in power, and 5-10,000 a year in maintanance.

I don't want to start a typical GS tragedy post about SSL but you need to know some fact before. And you can trust me, I plan to buy a G serie in 5years so I did some massive research (and I live side has a large SSL studio Polygone studio).
You can find different size and short load frame (24
for exemple). Popular demand ar 4048frame so if you have a huge CR choose a 4048 load on a long frame for cheaper price.
E serie are cheaper but can cost a lot for get G computer upgrade.
TR double the cost, same with ultimation.
You can run a 4040 with only one suply (and of course ad computer suply)
But you can get a nice 4032 with G computer for 37K. Ad 10k for comisionning the beast (instalation, patching, ssl tech for computer)
Btw you need a machine room and proper HVAC for cooling the board and PSU...etc.
Maintenance isn't that bad but can be really heavy for lot of people here
It's like a Ferrari or a big boat
But if you can affor all the cost seriously do it
Btw everything I said was the whole picture but feel free if you want more detail

Price is without vat and comisionning cost and you need to be really carefull with Funkyjunk.
Nobody will burn money on recap before sell any console so you need to book time with your tech for check the console before any purchase
Know what you buy is the first rule...
