I was recording with apple earphones and garage band a MacBook at one point and I wouldnt know it was apple earphones just listening to it because the mix was solid so I’d say start with whatever you got and practice your mixing skills until you get the money to upgrade as long as have a computer you should be okay to record something

[natec]

Yep. Started out with an AT2020 and a Scarlett Solo... Pretty great for the price!

[Ipsissimus]

And within 2 months you'll have spent over 5k upgrading lol

The focusrite also comes with a bunch of plugins and free software so the value is crazy good, to get the free softwear you just gotta go to where you register your interface

Imma do the Canadian prices version of this, it’ll be double 😂

[abcf]

Computer, DAW software (Cakewalk still free, get it while you can), cables, mic stand, might want a midi controller keyboard.

I think I spent around 200$ for my current set up, which also includes a NT1-A. A good place to look for stuff is Ebay or Craigslist or any pages like that

I spent all night last night trying to figure out what I need for a set up and not really finding a concise video about it, and then find this video the next morning lmao thank you sir!

I was with you all the way, vibing to the background music, then slapped with the GoOd LuCk at the end 😂😂😂

I went with:

Rode NT USB
No interface (I eventually got one: - it's an M-Audio interface that I use for electric guitar and my phantom powered mic which is a Marantz Pro)
Akai MPK mini midi w/ drum pad
Donner 66 midi keyboard
Audiotechnica M30s (I recommend the M50s tho but theyre a little pricier)
Hardware was the TONOR mic stand (it has LEDs built in) and a USB hub.

I use Logic tho so all together I think I got started for like $700

[MUSIKA-SOLE]

thanks mate, this is exactly wat im saving up for next

[jyotiskosengupta]

PC/MAC and DAW ( LAUGHING IN THE CORNER)

[tinophom]

Fun fact: Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish & Finneas was created using the at2020, scarlett, & logic pro

[jmdyt]

I study music at college atm but don’t have any sort of a music studio setup, and I’m working atm so I’m going to save up and buy a Mac mini m2, and also a midi keyboard, headphones, audio interface and with a microphone I might wait abit before buying one as atm I don’t really sing

[vietnammg]

Upgraded from At2020 and Focusrite solo to TLM 103 and UAD Apolla, I would never go back.

[krustdogg]

Monitors or good headphones are a must

[jacktalksjets]

Can I connect my Audio Technica BPHS1 to a Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen to OBS Studio in my laptop?

[heykk]

Audio tech headphones 39
behringer interface one output 45
mic i have the at2020 i recommend this mic for if you're doing more melodic music it's good on a budget 90
and you can really crack any daw or just buy it Fl is my go to though and there are a lot of free vocal presets out there you can mess around with play around with them until you like one that you can tweak to even better match your voice or just outright make one from scratch. the presets only use stock plugins besides maybe autotune

[purplerider]

I got fruity loops like 15 years ago and it still goes hard

[TomBaitson]

I'll put my cassette recorder up against your interface any day. It has a rewind, fast forward, AND pause!
