Oh, the summing thing is about the last thing you want to worry about. Front end first, start with a source worth recording then get good pre amps and conversion first....
Most important outboard gear is monitors. If you can't hear what you're doing there's no point and you won't appreciate the subtleties anyway. Ideally, you've got SPACE to listen to them in. No, headphones are not the same, but if you're in a flat or whatever then get some proper headphones, a few pair even.
