Hi, Curtis,

I am a user and fan of Samplitude--I think it's wonderful, but has a steep 
learning curve.

I LOVE the virtual modes. I really miss them in Diamond Cut Millennium and 
use that as a noise reduction and repair tool and still do final assembly 
in Samplitude Producer 2496 v6.0

If your sound recordings are average oral histories, I would suspect that 
CD quality is fine.

I second (third?) the CardDeluxe. I'm considering buying two for 4-channels.

I like Dell computers.

I'm not familiar with the Tascam 302 and the Otari MX-5050 is a competent 
machine.

I'm always in a quandary as to what to suggest. Nakamichi Dragon (one just 
went for $600 on eBay) and a Studer A820 would be my first choices for 
cassettes and reels. I use Sony APR-5003Vs for 1-2 channels on 1/4-inch and 
an Otari MTR-12 for 3-4 channels on 1/4 and 1/2-inch tape.

You can look at an almost current equipment list on my Web site at 
http://www.richardhess.com/tape/equipment.htm

I think I even have a wiring diagram there of my "kludge" setup--works for 
me--you might get some ideas from it (which is why I posted it).

Cheers,

Richard
