A 12 channel mixer, multi-track software, cound card. which method???

[cyur]

I have 12 channel mixer and just a regular sound card that comes with computers. I'm using multi-track software... Since i do not have a sound card with multiple ins and outs and i really don't wanna buy one. Which method should i use to record a band which consists of drums, bass , guitar, and leads. Should i record a raw track and do each instrament on top of that, or what, I'm new to this. I don't know what to record first and so on....

I've got a similar setup, and I record a scratch track first, then the rhythm section in stages, guitars, etc. to build it all up.

Works a treat
