I was curious on what set up i would need to record multiple instruments and mics simultaneously interfacing a computer? I want these tracks to be separate on the computer for mastering.

what is your price range? Do you mean separate for mixing?

Before you go and throw money at this you might want to learn what mastering is.bjutzi said:

This is very true.
A couple weeks of steady research even on this site will do you good, but here's a quick terminology lesson:
When you are in the process of putting tracks down, you are tracking; when you are sitting there editing tracks, changing things like pan and volume on different channels, etc., you are mixing.
When you have finished your multi-track mix and are converting it to a stereo/mono/quadraphonic/5.1/7.1/yada yada mix, you are creating a mixdown, final version of the song.
When you take that final mix (in stereo/mono/etc format), and make overall changes, such as applying compression, perhaps some EQ, some overall volume changes to make it match up better with the other songs for your album/getting it closer to the "norm", you are mastering.
This is a very basic description, you should use the search function to read up on the various concepts. As for which is a decent interface, I checked that link, it goes to a decent thread that should help out. What kind of mics do you have at the moment, and are you planning on upgrading those as well?
