Genesys Black The Ultimate Hybrid Workstation

So...I bought an audioarts 8x console, and besides being excited to use its "super mediocre" eqs as remy put I am thinking about how to get the most out of it.

I currently have a 2-bus lt and a monitor st, but will probably want to get rid of them now and sum through the board.

well here's the biggest question for my DAW studio so far...after deciding that to be taken seriously as a commercial studio i would need an analog desk, i realised i don't know that much about them.
