As I am just about to shell out some serious cash, I wanted to make sure I have not forgotten any options. Basically, I am looking for a compressor, an Eq and a reverb unit that would be appropriate for most of my recordings (classical, jazz and world).

I've got an upcoming Orcestral concert to record and I have a chance to experiment a bit with surround recording. Having very little xperience with this other than having listened to a bunch of surround DVDs with classical music, always feeling ripped of because the mix sounded unnatural and nothing like a "live concert experience"..

Anything that I'm missing to get a full sound.
