Being an A&R? What's my motivation?

I'm very very new at THIS (cause I normally just make beats and rap) so forgive.
(Below is a "I said all of that to say this..." speech, so skip if you feel)
We've started a rap group 3 years ago, and it's finale rising after all our hard work. We just released a CD but our picture isn't on it. So the public outside of our city knows not who we are in appearance or style.

Okay I have defected... I Want a Reel to Reel

Let me start out by saying that I studied the (cheap) digital market cards for under $500 for about a year before almost buying one. I first bought Mic, then Preamp, and then heard a lot of recordings done on these magic cards Echo audio and Midi-Man pushes on the market. I WAS not impressed!

Dedicated HD Recorder for CPU Relief?

I'm currently running DP on a Mac G4 with a MOTU 2408MKII. I tend to run out of CPU headroom a little earlier than I would care for on most of my mixes.

I was wondering if anyone here knows what the benefits would be by using something like the Alesis HD24XR in conjunction with the computer and mixing software, to take over the read/write duties in the recording/mixing process.

Which external soundcard would you recommend me?

Hi everybody! Long time no see!

I have an white Ibook 500 mhz 192 ram and would like to hear recommendations of external soundcards for using Traktor for live DJ sessions. i'm telling you this because to get the best of this program you need 4 outs (2 master and 2 cue).

It doesn't need to be said, that the cheaper you can recommend me the best... at least for my pocket!

So stereo Mytek owners...

I've been in the market to get new AD, and was initially looking at used Rosettas(48k), but recently it seems like, for a little more money, I could get a stereo Mytek.

Now that they've been out for a bit and people have had a chance to use them, how do you like them? Do you think its worth the extra money over a $650 used Rosetta?
