Actually Chuck he didn't say multiple, but you more or less need 2 for recording vocals, one for the "Engineer" and one for the "talent",, I used to get away with headphone splitters for this. Radio Shack.
I agree about using those old drum machines,, must sound horrible. Mine sure does. and nothing worse than a steady drum beat that never changes. It is soooo easy to use Sonar to make a very realistic drum track. But I make no judgement I've heard worse when real drums were used too.
