Do some reading on this site and others.

And yes, plugging your mic straight into the soundcard will be a problem. Especially if it's a Soundblaster or some other example of the finest quality that you obviously demand...

Actually I think you are confusing mastering with recording. Mastering is the last stage in producing a CD.

You record your music to something like CEP, AA, Cubase etc, then you mix things, make it balanced and after that the 'mastering' happens, which is optimising the sound and edit songs together, making fade ins or outs when neccesary, put 2, 3 or whatever seconds between the songs add ID's and things like that.
