The simplest way is to use external mixer, but look forward to get one with the inputs for low/high impedance (input for mic and line) for each channel. Some simple mixers have only 1-2 low (mic) inputs and more high inputs. The mic inputs on the mixer are 3 contacts/wires. The line inputs are 2 or could be 3 - stereo. Here for example http://www.studiomasterprofessional.com/product/item/209 You could however go the cheep way and play with multiple usb/pci audio cards, jack and free audio software If you want to experiment with linux and audio recording, you could look for a supported multichannel audiocards and play with jack or audacity or some other free software which will spare the external mixer.
