Some interfaces are built to do this, some aren't. How many inputs do you need?

Yeah...but depends on the interface and your computer.

Keep one thing in mind...even if you get a mixer with 24 channels, you can only record as many *individual* tracks as you have interface inputs.
If you only have an 8-channel interface, and want to record 12 individual tracks, a mixer will NOT expand that capability for you.
If however you are willing to *sub-mix* with the mixer down to whatever number of interface channels you have, then a mixer can be useful.

Obvious questions...

Do you currently have an interface?

If not, which ones are you considering?

What is your budget?

There are a number of ways of accomplishing what you want to do, but without those answers we can't help you...
