The sound card I've got seems to work ok (Creative Professional E-MU DSP 0404), but not quite as good as I would want it to. Though, I'll never get the quality I want without a 100% analog equipment setup (AKA an analog mixing board w/ cassette recording + a cassette -> CD burner)

true, but with cassette you will get low bass and some buzz noise in the background, right?

Occasionally, but if you beef up the bass in the mixing board a bit, and record everything at really low volumes, it usually turns out quite nicely. Of course, you have to find the right volume level to record to cassette to and be able to hear it clearly, AND be able to amplify the volume to a comfortable level when you convert it all to CD.

Can anyone say "Take 74, from the top!?!"

I don't understand what you mean by "Take 74, from the top!?!" x.x

Meaning that it took 73 tries (retakes) to get what they had, but it was not as good as they wanted so they are doing another take :P
