never buy the cheapest gear you can afford. Buy the middle grade equipment that way it will do you justice for 5-10 years. other wise it will break in 2 years just bc you wanted to save 200$

On the other side of the coin it's unlikely that your first choice will be your pro choice so why not get the bargains to get going and overall you'll spend less when you buy the stuff you really want in a couple of years.

great video! I would suggest getting a dynamic instead of a condenser if you are working out of an untreated small-ish room. the SM57 is something that every studio needs in the long run, so its a great starting point imo. Or an SM58 if you are only recording vocals.

I’ve finally decided to make the leap to the next step into producing / making music, and this video 100% sealed it for me as far as what i’m picking up. I had planned on picking up an MA-67 mic, a Scarlett Solo 4th gen audio interface, and the M20x headphones, and this video just confirmed it for me, so thank you!! I just have to wait for the MA-67s to restock on amazon since it says they’re no longer available. hopefully they restock soon because that mic really impressed me especially for the price

Hey… Hey hey hey,, hey. I just stumbled over your video. As, I built my first home studio. A short while back. With old radio station equipment. From the 1940s and 50s. Back in, 1968 when I was 12 years old. Yeah I wired it all up. I knew I was going to do that for a living. And I needed to start practicing. So I would be ready to get a job when I turned 18. But that never happened. I started getting hired at 14. And 15 and 17. 19 and 22. And each one was a, Meteoric, step up. I was on a fast track. And while I really wasn't interested, in this video. Having done that so long ago. And for so many others. But I noticed something strange going on here with your video. I was actually, really enjoying the sound and tonality. Of your voice.. And looking at what appeared to be a, Neumann, U-87 clone. And then you said it. You are using a, MA-67. What? By, whom? You provided us with the model number yes. And the lucky manufacturer, is? However? I was musing over how good your, narrative voiceover track sounded. And this is an imitation of a Neumann, U-67 not the 87! In cardioid only. But no wonder it sounded nice. As, I personally, just sold my two, Original, U-67 Neumann's. Since, getting them used in,, 1983. 41 years ago. What great mics. And I had a pair of U-87's also. A pair of KM-86's, also. And a vacuum tube,, U-56. And knowing what those sound like. Because I owned them for so long. And loved them. I heard something similar going on here with your MK-67. And I am kind of blown away. Because that's not a vacuum tube microphone. And yet? It has a fullness, a warmth, to it. I don't here on other people's, LDC, microphones. As they are all using,, only 3 mil thick, diaphragms. Some, even thinner at 1.5 mil. That hypes, the high end, unnaturally. But the Neumann's use a, 6 mil, thick, diaphragm. And those do not sound, thin, strident, crispy, metallic, sibilant. But all of the thinner, entry-level, beginner ones, do. Ugh. They produce an, Ugh, sound. Every time you hear them. Ugh! What's with the high-end? Why so, wispy? What's that supposed to be? And you can't go wrong with a Neumann. But? I thought your MA-67, sounded beyond amazing! They got that thing right. That's a wonderful tonality. And it cost what? What!? Oh my God! Are you kidding me? I think that must have a thicker mylar/polyester film, diaphragm in it. I could be wrong? But I don't think so. I think, M-Audio, a few years back. Had released a, supposedly, authentic, U-67, vacuum tube powered LDC. Said to use a, EF-86, Pentode, valve/vacuum tube, in it. With a 6 mil thick, diaphragm. Just like a real Neumann. And then it seemed, to disappear. And now you show this MK-67. That's what? $90? And it sounds this good? So? I think that, vacuum tube, 67 clone, failed. As I tried to replace my, TELEFUNKEN, EF-86 vacuum tubes. And I purchased a few pairs. To listen and decide. Which pair I would like better. As they were still being manufactured. 40 years ago. And so I got a pair from, RCA appear from, Sylvania, a pair from GE, a pair from Raytheon. And I install those in mind Neumann U-67's. And they sound like dirt. They sound horrible. Awful. Unusable. I was wondering what the hell is going on? I had gotten four, brand-new pairs of American made vacuum tubes. And they all sounded simply horrible! Unusable! There's no way I could tolerate that sound. None. I was shocked, to my core. It left me no choice. I put the old, TELEFUNKEN's, back in. Oh! What a difference! Though they take a few hours to warm up to quiet down from, making internal noise. But this taught me a lesson. About vacuum tubes. They are Not, all the same. They all have their own sound and characteristics. And I could not believe the difference. So I think that M-Audio clone 67 failed. Due to, totally shitty sounding non-TELEFUNKEN. EF-86 vacuum tubes from, China, Russia? That can't possibly sound good. So I think that was scrapped. Then? They simply paired up a field effect transistor. To use with that imitation, 67 style, capsule. And that did sound, right nice! I was duly impressed. And dumbfounded to see what it was! I mean give me a break? That sounds terrific! Not like other shitty, LDC's. With thin. Lousy thin, diaphragm's. I hate that sound! Yours does not sound like that. Congratulations! You got this all, so right. I am duly impressed, Sir. That microphone definitely has a smoothness to it. You just never hear at that price point! You hear all of the thin diaphragm hyped high-end garbage. Ugh! As mostly, male rock and rollers. Have already done substantial damage to their hearing. They don't know what the heck they are hearing? They are half deaf. Good thing they have a guitar tech. To keep their instrument tuned for them. As tuners you clasp onto the guitar neck.. Are too complicated to use for the average, brain-dead, rock 'n' roll, guitar player and musician. May they rest in peace. I don't like it when they murder their own music. RemyRAD

Let’s be honest. $30 mixing headphones are not sufficient. If you’re gonna spend money, make sure you spend it on HEARING. and since most home studios aren’t treated, your best bet is good headphones. Audio Technica ATH-m50x or Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro are perfect starter headphones, and well worth the $150-$170 price.

I'm not a musician, I just want to record quality audio for my little KZbin channel. I bought an AT2020 XLR condenser mic and a UMC22 audio interface. Unfortunately, despite endless hours on forums and trying everything I could to get it to work, I can only get a very low-level input, even with the gain turned right up (and yes, I do have the phantom power switched on). So, a year later I am still relying on the crappy cheap boom mic connected to my canon camera. I guess I need to just chuck the UMC22 out and get the unit you suggest here. Great video, thanks.

It's counter-intuitive, but "major record labels" aren't actually concerned with producing the highest quality sound recording. Rather, their main focus is ensuring it meets a minimum acceptable threshold standard for whatever device is being used most commonly ie.) Apple ear buds. If it sounds great in Apple ear buds and that's what most people are going to be listening to the music on, it matters LESS if it sounds less great in other devices.

Never buy the cheapest thing. Buy the most bang for your buck. But also understand that when you start out, you will suck. And that's ok. It's going to take years before you see the results you dreamed of. But most importantly, have fun. Enjoy the process. You will become a master over time if you are consistent. Hands on training in my opinion is the best training you can get. Especially if it's from somebody who is really good with their craft. Expensive gear is good if you know what you are doing. But you are wasting your time if you don't know how to use it properly. Give a lambo to a person who has no clue how to drive and he will crash it. That's why it's best to give them a civic first.

I have a pair of Presonus Eris E 3.5's I just bought not long ago from the 'used' market at a trusted and well established pawn company that buys and resels things like studio equipment and gear. The monitors sound great but turn to distort/clip when I crank them up to full volume with the volume on max on my laptop too. I am not using balanced cables by the way and I'm using a MacBook Pro which have higher volume than most laptops out there. I just wanted to know if the monitors have a limit as they told me they do at the store after I reported this. I assume they do too since they are small and after a certain point they can be overpowered

I own 6 pairs of the Audio Technica MT-20X for my podcast because they are good enough. I have expensive headphones, but I only use them for mastering. I also have expensive monitor speakers, but I use a set of 2.1 Logitech PC speakers and a set of Pyle Bookshelf speakers because I don't want to use my expensive monitors unless I'm mastering. Sure, if you A-B them the expensive ones sound better, but look at me, it's too expensive for me to waste on watching videos and listening to music. I can't afford to replace it. I also can't afford the time to switch the capacitors, even though they are cheap and I"m a computer engineer and it's not a big deal for me. Time is money.

if you are starting to work with BEST Gear than suddenly if you move to bad one u cant work , but if u start working with 4 gb ram laptop with shit i3 processor and mid headphones you can enjoy better gears, and also this is like leveling up , also not super good headphones, u don't need to have best headphones or speakers at the start cuz u don't even gonna feel the difference between good and bad,, good high end ,or good low end. Im not saying don't buy , if u can just afford it , i just want to say that if u start with bad equipment or not super crazy just random equipment u also understanding improving quality by the time , everyone need time for improving as music producer im just saying this also helps to improve your ears, if you don't know what is bad, than you're never gonna understand what is good. You're gonna think that this is normal not good. Man u just need a laptop and headphones anything else you will understand after time don't focus on shit , just get a laptop and headphones , id say its better to put more money for your laptop or pc rater than buying audio card when u starting making music cuz dying pc or laptop gonna annoying you and at the start you're not even gonna feel the difference between ur laptop audio card comparing with like apollo twin audio card.

I'd prefer Takstar pro 82 rather than m30x, but the rest is pretty decent I think.

I make slide shows/videos and edit music at home for friends and family members. I have Logitech speakers which work very well and I've had them for years. I want to try something better. I am looking at Yamaha HS5/HS7/HS8 speakers and either the Audient iD4 or Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. Stupid question --- Does the USB interface just provide power or does it send 'data' (audio signal) to the interface? Do I need to also use a 1/4" plug/XLR connector to actually get audio into the interface? (I know they make cables that have 1/8" on one end and 1/4" on the other so I could connect the speakers that way.) Thank you for your time.

Do you know of a microphone stand that can carry the weight of the MA-67 mic? Preferably not a desk boom arm because i don’t have a desk, also i’d prefer budget prices as i don’t have too much to spend.

$200 audio interface to start? Get a Behringer HD204 for about $120, and if budget is tighter, the UM2 or UM22 for less than $70.

at2020 all day, that's the best for the price, watch some video comparisons and majority, if not all will tell you the at2020. I bought one because I watched so many comparisons on KZbin and I was not disappointed. I watched a guy who does metal productions and he said thats the only mic below $100 he would buy cause the others he had in the shootout were too messed up in the high-end when recording an amp, only the at2020 passed and he usually uses $300 and over mics for it. and he bought all the mics on the list with his own money

If you just starting out i can recommend you little cheaper: Microphone: BM 800 at $30 or MA87. Interface: M audio m track solo/duo. Headphone: Ath m20x/m30x. Studio speaker: presonus eris 3.5. Total: $150 around. Without speaker. PC: get a 10gen motherboard integrated graphic and buy a Intel Pentium gold g6400 processor no need graphic card it can handle any daw without problem. It will cost around $300 complete assemble.

I would skip the studio speaker purchase. if you have $0 for room treatment, no amount of dollars spent on studio speakers is worth it. and eris is pretty terrible fwiw. better to get a better pair of head phones and then save up for room treatment + a good pair of speakers down the line.
