I really don't think there's anything wrong with that Scarlet microphone. I mean what the hell are you looking for? It can pick up a rats fart from 20 ft away. Who gives a crap, it records your voice and it picks up pretty decent without post editing. People sing and record guitar well with the Scarlet microphone. Honestly I can't tell in God damn difference. I've give it an a okay.

I bought this bundle 3 years ago, and upgraded to an AT2020, and recently to a Rode NT1 5th Gen. And what they don't do enough in these videos, is talk about how important a mic is on your own voice. I did a mic comparison (for my own voice), and in a treated room (recording booth), I'm getting FAR BETTER clarity out of the Scarlett mic. The other two (for me), pick up WAY too much sibilance, are too boxy in treated areas (like a booth), it's an absolute war in the mids with the Rode NT1A, and the AT2020 can be flat/dull. And both of them, make my voice sound grainy, the opposite of smoothe. Yet, the Scarlett 2i2 mic, for me, has been very good. The main reason I got the other two mics, was because EVERYONE (on KZbin) goes on about how incredible they are. And I'm sure that they are, for certain/specific voices, but not for everyone. I also just got an SM58 that few people say to use for KZbin voiceover/narration, yet, for me, it also sounds MUCH better than the Rode NT1A and the AT2020, and I have mobility; instead of having to stand in one place all of the time. There's a KZbinr by the name of Jian Camille who's been around for a number of years, and still uses the Scarlett 2i2 bundle. She has over 100K subcribers, and I wondered why she didn't upgrade her mic already. It made me think for a while, THEN I revisited the mic recently, and realized that it likely suits her voice better than other mics.

I don't get why people are so in love with the SM7B. No, I don't own one, it just seems really expensive for recording something that's pretty easy to record well: voice only. Plus the gain is really low on it. And also, if you have a quality mike and want to make it sound similar to the Shure, you can get 80% of the way there, by just warming up the EQ, right? On the other hand, there's no doubt that the Shure is definitely the coolest looking mike around. There's not a single mike that looks better. Anyways, I like his mike pick, AKG P120. I think Audio Technica AT 2020 is a good mike at reasonable cost too

I have the 2i2 3rd gen studio pack. The interface is great and the mic... is pretty good!! I got one of those iso balls and I record vocals for music there all the time. I wouldn't discourage anyone from getting it... The only real problem are the headphones, after a year or so they started making my ears ring, it was quite scary. For days after using them I would have a strong ringing sound triggered the moment anything surpassed a specific volume (a passing car, a dog barking, even my own voice!!). I threw them away and got me some open back sennheisers and everything improved 200%.

I've never understood someone spending $400 for an SM7B (store price), and then going cheap on an interface that struggles to drive the mic/headphones! Fact is, no one cared about the SM7B until it got out that it was Michael Jackson's favorite vocal mic, then suddenly every home studio owner had to have one! IMO better to buy a Shure Beta 58, which not only sounds cleaner than the SM7B (Unless you're going for the slightly muffled sound, in which case just get the Shure 58), but also poses no problem for the budget interfaces.

I just purchased Focusrite Solo 3rd Gen and when I GO LIVE on FB (or just record in Quicktime) the sound only comes out the left side. I understand that this happens because the Focusrite Solo considers input 1 (XLR) to be the left channel and input 2 (1/4 inch) to be the right channel. Now this would be an easy fix in post with any DAW because I can process the final output in Mono however because I GO LIVE and I dont have the option to fix in post (because it is LIVE) How can I get the live audio on the left and right side of the recording when recording live?

Is there anything better "bang for your buck" kind of soundcard right now I would get much better quality with, that does not cost a fortune ? I want to be able to plug in my guitars (6-8 strings) with both passive and active pickups and learn my fav music and also record music I make myself. Do you guys have any tips ? Both hardware and software (software with amps and effects) that work together. I play mostly metal music and rock. I do not want the soundcard or what you call it to be more expensive than 300$. I am just an amateur that wants to start playing again and get better but want it to sound good. Thanks in advance for any help guys! PS my friend told me the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd gen was a good choice for the money, what do you guys think?

I was wondering about the headphones? how are they compared to headphones in the 100$ range? like ATH-M20x and Sennheiser HD-200 pro

I'm considering this bundle 2nd hand for interim solution while I wait for my studio to be shipped overseas. $137 including an Akai MPK Mini Mk2 thrown in the mix. I can either buy this and use the headphones for production or buy the solo solo (see what I did there) for $82 and a pair of BD DT990s for another $100 but then no controller (which I really like for producing). Any thoughts? That's pretty much my current budget maxed out.

How is this headphone compared to my DT990 Pro 250Ohm? I use that headphone in my studio but while I am travelling I want something that goes with my 2i2 because this 250Ohm headphone is really quite when I connect it without the headphone amp. I thinking of getting this bundle, will it be okay and also how's this mic is compared to AT2035?

I’ve seen a Scarlett 2i2 bundled with the AT mic (and those headphones along a mic stand and pop filter) on Adorama recently. What are your thoughts on it?
@DarkCornerStudios3 жыл бұрын
Not bad for the mic and interface. The headphones aren't worth it...so price it out separately. The at2020 is a great mic combo though

The Scarlett studio mic uses a 20mm electret condenser capsule and the circuit board looks sadly similar to a BM 800. It's junk in a sort of nice housing. There are some specs at recordinghacks.....

I’ve been looking into getting into making a home studio and came across your video. I have to say thank you for your review, but I absolutely have to give praise that you gave other recommendations that stayed within the price range of the Scarlett bundle. I’m curious, however, if someone could or would mind helping me out. I have a gaming desktop and planned on plugging my interface into it. Would I be able to use my gaming headset to hear what I record? Or would I have to use specifically designed headsets for it? Could I have them both plugged in, and swap to the desired headset when I’m gaming/recording? Hope I explained my questions properly. Thanks in advance 🤘🏼

NONE OPF US ARE HEARING YOUR MIC as being harsh or ANY of that. none of us are hearing that fan you were referencing...NONE of it... dude, people dont care on the USWER end. only the guy behind the mic is this worried.

A silly question but quite important for me. For replacing the USB Cable of Scarlett Solo, can you replace with the Type C cable which is popularly used for charging mobile phones? Or does the interface use a different kind of Type C USB cable which is not similar with those cables used for phones?

Not silly at all! Yes...you can use any other USB cable. That said...make sure it is rated the same. Personally I prefer just getting a USB 3.0 cable to be safe!
