No Problem!
Just do some heavy research. I saw you were thinking about an SSL console. I have been that route. I used analog gear for 30+ years and had a number of large format consoles (ones most people dream of owning), with massive tape machines and heavy duty outboard.
I am in the middle of shrinking my studio down, because you really don't need all of that to make excellent records, anymore.
I have sold most of my outboard and only kept the most essential pieces that use on the way in, or to put a bus compressor on the master and mix back into pro tools. This is called a hybrid setup. I am selling my 40 channel Neotek console through a broker right now. Here is a pic of where it is right now, before selling the console. The second pic is where it was a few years ago.

If you want some hands on touch and feel look into the SSL UF8 controller (you can do up to 32 faders with it), and try and go hybrid. With the Antelope Orion 32+ gen3 you can do something like this for a lot less than an SSL duality or Origin and can have more variety in the tones you can achieve. The difference is to commit to certain things on the way in and track with your singer to multiple tracks 1 straight and one with a compressor on it. The microphone preamps you choose will be where you can get your various tones from. I have several Neve and API preamps to get that kind of color or tone depending on the song or album. You can also look into Burl converters, I have a Burl B2 to take the master mix back into pro tools (you can get some of the good from tape sound using it). Also look at getting a UAD satellite DSP and try their plugins. I use them on most of my mixes and they really are the best.
Just some more for you to think about.
