I'm trying to get my Dad to do his home recording on a PC however he
likes to record live on his digital studio. Track One - drum machine,
track two - guitar and track three vocals. He then adds other parts
onto other tracks afterwards.


If he's having fun, leave him alone.

Is there a soundcard that can take 3 seperate inputs and put them onto
3 seperate channels on a music sequencer?


Sure, there are several. Look at M-Audio and Aardvark for two of the
many choices. He wouldn't really be gaining very much, however.
Chances are he records the drum machine first, then overdubs guitar,
then overdubs vocals. A multi-input sound card would let him track
drum machine, guitar, and one vocal part in a pass, but is that really
what he wants to do? And does he want to learn to work with the
computer when he already knows how to use the integrated multitrack
recorder/mixer?
