well, you did ask for advice in the Analog section....
But i would just keep doing what you are doing.
Unless you are working with film or professional scenarios where they need protools files or stems.
i don't get the impression you need deep editing or plugs.
Or, as others have said, even 24 tracks.
If you want to try a DAW, why don't you get one of the cheap or even free versions that are out these days and muck around and see if you like it.
I have garage band on my laptop and ipad for instance, and there are a bunch of similar things for pc. traction, protools free, etc.
I had a couple of stand alone all in one digital recorders, but i didn't like the user interface on either. They sounded ok, but not spectacular.
