But how do I record Band in a Box at the same time? I was hoping directly, without another microphone.

Is this where a DAW comes in or what do I need to do?

Presumably you want to record into Audacity?
You may be able to do this by selecting the computers Speakers as the recording device. Then Audacity will pick up both BiaB and the microphone. There are other ways, but I think this is what you are looking to achieve.
