The reason why I suggest 24 bit recording is that it makes it much easier to record at lower levels and stay above the noise factor. Twenty-four bit recordings in WAV format can easily be edited in a DAW and provide superior results from what you'll be able to achieve with 16 bit WAV files.

Portastudios are designed to make multi-tracking easy. You can overdub with your DR-05 but it's much more difficult and the quality and results of the recorded overdubs is limited.

Thanks Rudy...
