Hello, I was looking for a sound card on new-egg which I could plug multiple microphones up to for single track and multi-track recordings. I'm looking to be able to plug at least 4 microphones up simultaneously.

I didn't see a clear specification for what I am looking for which could of helped me narrow my search. What exactly am I looking for? thanks!
 
Solution
think you need a mixer or a dj unit that take muilt input tracks. then send the output to a digitail audio or standard mic input that would be passed through a sound card.
