"There are quite a few all-in-one designed pc-audio solutions, featuring external stand alone or rack-able unit's with multi In's and Out's and Microphone input's too even with phantom powering....
well, i'd advise to forget a soundcard mic amp, even tho my hoontech rack has one, and it works & sounds ok, i'd say it's preferable get a joe-meek Mic-pre/compressor, (or the cheap hootersound made by joemeek) or similar models by other manufacturers, and run a line out from that to a line level soundcard input - in that case of buying say an Ardvark or Maudio they do have multiple in's... so first as yourself... do you really need multiple in's on your PC audio card/device?...
If you are ONLY recording from the one mic, (or mebbe also a guitar-head line-out etc) & layering your record-takes of different parts over the pc-audio/s/w-synth backing, then you don't need a multi i/o card at all... because you only need a stereo monitor out in that case & stereo In to acceopt the pre-amp Output...
But, if you've got outboard - mebbe a synth, sampler & drumbox say - & you want to route that into your s/w mix in realtime then yes mebbe get a multi-input device you might think, it can in certain combinations with s/w allow input monitoring so you can belnd your outboard into the pc s/w mix and hear it all together via the PC output... but is it the best way?...." - Kilo @ dancetech.com

I don't think there's any wrong with recording the vocals in your own room.. There's are some isolation stuff that you can buy to transform your bedroom or bathroom to a vocal booth
