Which all comes back to the point. You got money, time, and wanna have fun ? Buy some hardware and enjoy discovering a new way of working and playing with knobs.
But don’t ask for miracles. Good tracks are good way before the mix, and no one cares when listening to a good song. Buying hardware is often a runaway from spending time writing and recording good songs. I’ve seen plenty of people with a lot of pricy hardware but polishing turds - if you can’t get a wonderful result today itb, the problem is either the awful mixing material or your abilities.
Last advice for OP : don’t buy anything before testing at access analog : you’ll quickly see which machine is ok and which one is useless in your own setup.
