You guys r giving me a lot of info and perspectives here. I believe I'm gonna try the 4-track cassette to see if I can get the sound I want, and if not, I'll try out a digital. I may have access to a reel-to-reel but it's not a 2" and really, the 4-track is enuf to deal with. I realize the 8-track (or more) digital would prob be even easier to use, but I want that silly sound, I think it'll work for what I'm trying to do for this 1st CD. I looked up the Home Recording Boot Camp but it's not 'till Dec. so we'll see how things come out. I could be back here in a month as a digital convert... I have to say over the past few weeks I've really gone back and forth between "forget it, I'm gonna get the digital player" and... "I really want to use tape". And I will admit part of wanting to use tape is to say..." recorded solely on a 4-track cassette tape" and part of it is wanting to be able to touch and see what my music is on - if that doesn't sound too weird. Like digging your own garden.
