You will need an interface unit for instruments and mic's, if you don't have a mixer. The PC sound cards need a higher signal level (e.g. line level) and won't work or work correctly with an instrument level. Mic's the same way, the level from a P.A. type mic is about 1/100 of what a "computer" mic is.
If you have a mixer, you can use the stereo "Line in" on a sound card for two channel recording. If you want more than two channels then you will have to buy a multi-channel interface and what type depends on your PC and it's capabilities. |

Mike, my experience is that BIAB lets you add 1 live part to the BIAB mix.
good luck
