An audio interface is basically the device that allows the computer to send and receive audio data to and from the outside world. Audio in the computer is digital, and music coming from a synth or mic is analogue. The audio interface "converts" those analogue signals coming in to digital code (a bunch of numbers that the computer can read as a certain sound). Then it can do the same in reverse. The audio interface is the mediator between the analogue (outside) and digital (computer) worlds.

What do I need to start recording with a DAW?

My guess is an audio interface. I recommend the PreSonus Firepod Interface. It has 8 inputs, each with a volume control, a headphone volume control, a main audio out volume control, and it's only $400, you won't find an interface that good for any cheaper. Also, get some good mics. Just sayin'. For vocals and guitars, Audio Technica at2020.
