I'm fairly new to the whole recording scene. I currently have a PC with a small 4 channel mixer, a couple compressors, and a mic preamp. I'm wondering... what is the simplest solution that will allow me to record multiple tracks at once on my computer? I have FireWire and USB 2.0 and room for a PCI card as well. I would need like 4 in at once. Any suggestions?

Thanks :)

The key is having a sound card with more than two inputs. There are a lot of such cards, ranging from not too expensive to very expensive.

Also have a look at my recent article from EQ magazine, which explains a lot about the basics of connecting a mixer to a computer DAW. Here's the page:

Then find "Using a mixer with a DAW" at the top of the list.
