I'm leaning toward an eight channel input system with four playback

tracks as they are input, much like Protools. I'd rather not spend the
$$$ on a PT system just for this job. Just because of storage issues
and compatibility with the client, I'd rather go with a IDE PC system.

How about: play from a four track machine; feed the two rightly oriented
("forward") tracks through good conversion into a standalone burner.
Feed the other pair through another unit of the same convertor to a DAW
where you can flip the tracks, and then burn a CD from those, too.

But if quality is more important than time here, maybe the idea of a
good convertor into a standalone burner makes the most sense, and can be
run as a sidebar to everyday work without inducing dangerous confusion.
