So two of the mics I have at home currently are the samson Q7X and the samson Q6
are these mics any good? if not, then what is a good suggestion? Also, would it be better if I got an xlr to 3.5 mm, or an audio interface?

pseudo bolt So two of the mics I have at home currently are the samson Q7X and the samson Q6...

if you are getting dynamic microphones

#

you need xlr 3.5 mm cables (amazon cables) that is at least 10 ft long and a USB Audio Interface with 1x XLR/TRS 1x 1/4" 2X RCA USB, Red (all on amazon)

#

if we are talking about good budget microphones

#

gotta get yourself an EM-89D (Mackie Microphone) on amazon

nocturne skiff you need xlr 3.5 mm cables (amazon cables) that is at least 10 ft long and a USB...

Gearlux Microphone cables are good quality

#

amazon basic is well.. basic

pseudo bolt Jul 7, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

let me see what brand the ones i already own are

nocturne skiff Jul 7, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

pseudo bolt

about this product if you read the title it's provide everything you need to connect the usb into your computer and does provide the xlr cable but again most xlr provided with audio interface are just medoicore

#

the audio interface is good but the provided item usually sent is either bad or well not up to standard

pseudo bolt Jul 7, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

i see i see

#

also the one i had doesnt say what brand it was

nocturne skiff Jul 7, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

pseudo bolt

pseudo bolt Jul 7, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

nocturne skiff Jul 7, 2023, 9:12 PM

pseudo bolt Jul 15, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

i do have fl studio though

#

i just use someone else's eq settings

autumn rampart Jul 16, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

nocturne skiff if you don't mind can you send me a list of items then?

sadly there are only 2 options for interfaces that are under 50 bucks that are trustable, the behriner um2 and the m track solo

#

id recommend saving up for something like the arturia minifuse or the scarlett solo or even the behringer umc22, but if u really need an interface now then these 2 i mentioned above this message are good enough

#

reason i dont reccomend those interfaces that yall showed was becoz of a friend of mine who bought that

#

had alot of distortion problems and stopped working for 1 week, wasnt what he expected

#

he bought the same one again, the distortion issues were gone but it also stopped working after a week and a half

pseudo bolt Jul 16, 2023, 1:55 PM

#

interesting

sudden oak Jul 16, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

pseudo bolt

Try scarlett 2i2, it's a bit more expensive but this is audio equipment we're talking about so itll pay off a lot

#

But I understand if you cant pay that much

#

Scarlett is super trustworthy so scarlett solo is also good but over 50 dollars

pseudo bolt Jul 16, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

yeah im mainly going for budgeted options but i'll check it out

sudden oak Jul 16, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Scarlett solo 3rd gen is 100 bucks but 2nd is 70 bucks

pseudo bolt Jul 16, 2023, 2:44 PM

#

the higher the gen the better?

#

or

#

does the gen not matter

autumn rampart Jul 17, 2023, 1:57 AM

#

pseudo bolt the higher the gen the better?

Yep, usually gen by gen, focusrite fixes the issues that the previous generation had. But all 3 generations are usable since they all do the same job as an audio interface.

#

The most recent gen, the better

pseudo bolt Jul 17, 2023, 2:14 AM

#

autumn rampart Yep, usually gen by gen, focusrite fixes the issues that the previous generation...

neat

pseudo bolt Jul 19, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

i might be getting the scarlett solo 3rd gen

#

#

these

nocturne skiff Jul 19, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

pseudo bolt i might be getting the scarlett solo 3rd gen

get the scarlett 3rd gen

#

anything below 100 for an audio interface is condenser microphone usually

pseudo bolt Jul 19, 2023, 9:36 PM

#

nocturne skiff get the scarlett 3rd gen

mkayy

pseudo bolt Aug 1, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

should i be getting better headphones for the audio interface?

#

i was watching a review and they said an 80-150 ohms headphones is the sweet spot in order to dodge distortion and have good listening for the scarlett solo 3rd gen

nocturne skiff Aug 1, 2023, 3:03 PM

#

pseudo bolt i was watching a review and they said an 80-150 ohms headphones is the sweet spo...

pseudo bolt Aug 1, 2023, 3:04 PM
