I just bought an AT2020 XLR mic
And I’m planning on buying a
Focusrite Scarlett, but I’m open to other suggestions
Since I’m pretty new to this.

As someone who owns a Solo I can tell ya that you get pretty good bang for your buck, especially if you are using a DAW thats compatible with its specific driver like Fl studio

the scarrlets dont offer anything that the cheaper behringer alternatives like the um2 and umc22 dont have plus they have a not super common but still existing clock drift issue and not so good drivers

Its a place where you can add some spice or take away spice to sound, allowing you to edit it in any way you want as long as you know how

slim quartz Oct 15, 2022, 10:48 PM

#

I’m familiar with audacity

#

Oh okay okay

maiden rose Oct 15, 2022, 10:49 PM

#

Good, cause that's a great free place to start

Anyways you should maybe wait until someone else more knowledgable about Other Audio interfaces comes along

slim quartz Oct 15, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

Alright I will

#

I saw that AT2020 was on sale last night or couple of days ago so I went and bought it
Now I still need a couple of more stuff

maiden rose Oct 15, 2022, 10:51 PM

#

I still stand by the Solo since it's been stable for someone who isnt yet fully profession, AKA me lol

Hopeful you have a stand and some sort of boom stick

Wishing you the best btw ❤️

slim quartz Oct 15, 2022, 10:52 PM

#

Yeahh idk have a stand

Purrrfect to hear, then you should be just fine once you can start

@slim quartz I highly recommend you go with the Behringer UPHORIA UM2, it's definitely the best interface for those who are on a budget. This interface will allow you to control the gain and sound into your microphone. It also has a plug for your headphones so you can use them through it, which I highly recommend you do.

The interface uses a mono jack (as almost all interfaces do), so if you use earbuds you would have to purchase an adapter that would accommodate that.

And if you don't have one yet, you will also need an XLR cable to connect your microphone to your interface. I would find out how far away you would want the interface to be and get the length accordingly. For my desk, mine is 6 feet, and for my studio, it's 20 feet.

Okay I think I’ll just get UM2
I ask in other server and someone said to stick with Scarlett and another said something about UA volt 1. I’m on a budget regardless so I’ll just stick with your suggestions

slim quartz Okay I think I’ll just get UM2 I ask in other server and someone said to stick ...

Like Daffi said, the Scarlett doesn't really offer anything more than the UM2 does. If you ask me I think it's worse than the UM2 - I've heard more people having uses with the gain control on the Scarlett's after 3rd generation than any Behringer products

slim quartz Oct 16, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

Oh dang

#

Phebe, do you use UM2?

ebon inlet Oct 16, 2022, 12:03 AM

#

I used it for about three years

#

With the AT2020, actually

#

It's the best beginner setup to help you dive into the use of XLR and gain control

Clock drift?
Anything smaller than the 18i8 or whatever doesn't have a built in clock and relies on a codec so if your cpus clock changes often you'll get this choppy sound I can find an example if you want
