I finally worked and saved enough money to upgrade my equipment and i need some advice. Should I get the AT2020 and the focusrite scarlet or does anyone have any other recommendations?

So I’ve heard
I was thinking of getting a cloud lifter as well but thats for a later date i think

A cloudlifter is useless for condenser microphones

AT2020 and focusrite scarlet are a decent combo. Depends on what you are working with. Just because a mic is a good mic, doesn't always mean it's good for your own voice. I know people who do not like Neumann mics because it doesn't work for them, even though they're the best of the best. Play around and see what you like. Can't go wrong with AT2020, but I like the Rode NT1-A. Scarlet is great for starters. Eventually as you improve and get more money, you can always upgrade.

Thanks for the advice

I suggest avoiding Focusrite because they’re more of a hit and miss
Go for the Behringer UPHORIA UMC22

Speaking of alternatives is the UA volt 1 any good or do you not know?

Uhhh it’s alright I guess but there’s better alternatives
If you’re wanting to spend around that much you might as well get the SSL2
It’s much more up to standards for broadcast quality

Well the ones you’re considering for ~$140 you might as well save up $40 more and get an interface that’s more known and broadcast quality approved
Because the Focusrite is known for a gamble in quality and overly high production rates without test quality, and the UA volt 1 is just mid overall, the UA company is better for their more expensive ones like the Apollo Solo

The Volt line has the vintage circuit which is good for sibilant microphones/voices

correct

I use the AT2020 at my desk with my SSL2
I think the AT2020 is not sibilant at all 😂 almost the opposite

The AT2020 probably works well for you then
But I’d still recommend the SSL2, or the EVO 4 maybe
