An "interface" is somewhat vague. What you will need is a full-duplex
sound card. Whether or not you want to use a mixer (digital or
analog) is entirely up to you. I have an external mixer because I
like to record live instruments, mic sources, etc. You may not need
this right away. A good soundcard will give you clean recordings from
external sources, and it will push out a clean signal from which you
can mix and master your music.

I always recommend the Echo line of cards, for beginners or
experienced users.

Good choice: I have the same basic configuration and I am
getting > 40 + tracks with some direct-x fx in the busses and most of
the track f-x on! Make sure you're running UDMA 66 or SCSI hard
drives.

I would look into Aardvark's sound cards for sound quality and
simplicity at an affordable price. Stay away from the echo gina
thingies in fact stay away from any sound card that uses windows
multimedia panel to adjust its properties.

What kind of setup do you want to have? Are you recording drums?
How many mics do you have?
