Is there a major element that I'm missing? Thinking of getting a HM-1 to round out my mic selection a little. Do I need a mixer or any of that stuff?
A kick-ass mic preamp would certainly be high on my list.
An API 512C plus lunchbox would set you back just shy of a grand and give you room to expand, otherwise just use the MOTU pre's.

A nice compressor - TOFT, Distressor- API would round it out as well.
