future of recording engineer?

I am hearing that more artist are recording in home studios instead of commercial recording studios. Also a high quality of sound on current CDs' seem not to be one of consumers major concerns. With that being said what direction do you feel the recording engineer position is going? What are your own personal experience, or what you have heard.

Strings Lost in Mix

Loaded question here. I have a part in a song with 3 strings and electric guitar sharing a lead. Each are doing their own thing butit works. Problem is I cant seem to get proper seperation to hear all parts. I have tried scrolling thru with a paremetric and still cant find the sweet spot.

Electric Guitar-chello-viola-violin.

Maybe I could email a MP3 to someone to hear it.

Leaving the world of analog 4-tracks:

Hello all! I am new here, I've been reading up on as many posts as I can but I have to be honest... A lot of this stuff is WAY over my head. I have had good luck in the past using just two 4-track recorders to bounce tracks off one another but I think that it is time I got into digital: I'd like to be able to make some quality mixes for my own music. I do have an Alesis Blackface ADAT.

Sound Module vs Keyboard

I’m in to making Hip-Hop beats. I’m trying to find the best way in going about doing it so I don’t waste my money. I was really leaning towards getting a keyboard, make the beats on the keyboard load it into the computer. But, lately I’ve hearing Sound modules are the best affordable way to go (I guess if you’re always looking for new sounds).

La-2a

can anyone suggest the best way to connect the La-2a to a Mackie 32x8 for vocals? I'm running with a Avalon ad2022 mic preamp. should i run the mic to the Avalon then out of the Avalon to the in of La-2a then out of La-2a to mackie? and also where should i plug it thru the line in or thru the insert or XLR jack on the mackie? your input is greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
