First, you need to have a sound card that’s capable of having multiple inputs simultaneously available for input. Ultimately how well you can do this depends on a few things. However, if you don’t have something that supports multitrack recording, single-track is still possible and you can make it work. External mixers are something else entirely, and most decent audio programs will interface with these properly on their own.

Dedicated sound cards usually have an excellent set of drivers, so if you have something like a Sound Blaster X-Fi, you’re covered. This is usually because of shoddy or feature-incomplete drivers on lower-end and integrated sound chipsets.

This is more of a pro-level method and is really useful because you can add effects and Unless you have a nice sound chipset (most likely a dedicated sound card) or an external audio mixer/preamp, this isn’t going to be possible. Multitrack recording takes each input device and records it to a separate track. The important thing to note is that you have to adjust your levels and everything before you record, otherwise you may be sacrificing some quality.

This can be really handy in a pinch, and works fine for most home projects. Single-track recording is essentially recording all of your inputs into a one mixed track.
