Looking to purchase Cakewalk Home Studio, but I have questions

[Dad_of_four]

Currently, I'm recording guitars and vocals on Tascam DP-01. Would like to do "more" to the recordings, so I'm considering purchasing Cakewalk (or if there is another more appropriate product) to make my next step up. I need something to generate drum beats, so I'm looking to drums on demand for that. Is it possible to lay down my drum track from DOD into Cakewalk), play guitars and bass along side of it (but recording into the Tascam DP-01, and moving the *wav files back into Cakewalk for final mix and master?

Am I doing this all wrong?

What you are proposing to do seems pretty typical. Should work just fine. I'm not familiar with DOD, but use DFHS, and Ez-Drummer. I record on one computer, an old crappy one, then transfer the files to a better computer, importthem into Sonar, and mix them. You should be able to do the same thing using your equipment.
