Or use the sound card in your PC, a mixer is not necessary if you use a program such as "Audacity" which is free to download and use.
All you need is a decent microphone and plug it into the mic input on the PC.
You can record a new track whilst playing along to a song all in the same project, and then mix them together to make the master recording.
Editing is a doddle using software like Audacity, (when you have practised and got used to how to do it)
This is a song my son recorded almost in an afternoon and evening using audacity, after hearing me play an old Neil Diamond record.
Each instrument was played and recorded individually by Sam then mixed into one master recording.
He used a keyboard for most of the instruments, an electronic drum kit and guitar, and recorded his own harmonies.
I believe once the rhythm track has been recorded, whilst playing along to the original sound track, each of the other instruments were recorded one at a time again listening to the rhythm track.
I have to admit that this version is the HiFi version and incorporates many re-recordings of some of the tracks, at a high sample rate, but the original recording wasn't bad either.
