Unless you have access to a recording studio its difficult. First try and get hold of a omni-dircectional mic (where it picks up sound from only one area). Then get the instrument and a second mic for that.

Then record then to a sound card/hub to the computer, the edit it in you’re software program.

Good luck, it’s kinda difficult to explain but you need 2 mics or so for the amount of instruments

Audacity can help, and is free to use:

Without additional hardware, you can only record one track at a time. However, you can change the preferences or Windows Mixer to play back (monitor) an existing project while you record an additional track.

To use multichannel/multitrack recording, you have to add more hardware—either sound cards or mixer decks that can interface with a computer:

More advanced software include Adobe Audition, Sony ACID, and ProTools (and its hardware).

FL Studio is good. I use it for my music. It has lots of features including the ability to play an instrumental and record vocals in a separate track.

You can download the demo from their official website to try it out.
