Acoustic instrument recording on Ipad3

[danbs10]

Hi, I have my own home recording studio where I record acoustic guitar, vocals and so on.
The way I do this is by having my condenser and dynamic mic's connected to an audio mixer and then from there the mixer is connected to a USB audio interface and then into my laptop (not a mac).

Now how would I achieve this with the Ipad3?

1- Would I need to still use the USB audio interface and connect that to my Ipad?

2- Can I connect the mic's directly into the Ipad without the interface, can the Ipad internal sound card handle it?

3- What software can I use to achieve this?

Any answers to the above would be very helpful.

Thanks

Dan
