Re: How do you record yourself?

When I wanted to record myself I bought Blue Snowball USB mic and I think it's pretty good. Decent quality, plug and play on my linux laptop, and has a mini tripod to it's easy to position. I've had it for about 6 years now and it's still good. I'm in Europe but if you are in USA then I see that amazon.com sells them for about $45 recon.

During pandemic lockdown my brother and I did a bit of duetting via exchanging recordings. He has much more expensive recording kit than me (much more expensive everything in fact!) but I decided I would upgrade. I bought a Behringer UMC22 Audio Interface which was absurdly cheap at the time (about €30). They're now about $70 on amazon. I bought an Audio Technica AT2035 Studio Condenser Mic via an amazon warehouse deal for about €115 and I see amazon.com has these for $115 recon. Finally, I bought a decent stand for about €50, again via amazon warehouse deal. All that is paired with a free software mixer, so about €200 got me what I consider to be a very good quality setup. My brother spent a good deal more than I did and personally I can't detect any difference at all in sound quality.

Like most things I suppose, price tends to increase exponentially while quality goes up in a more linear fashion.

BTW I have no big thing for amazon and would be equally happy to support a local shop, but I live in a very rural area and amazon delivered all the above for free which suited me.
