Let's dive in!

One thing to add is a DAW.
Logic is best bang for the buck. Then Reason.
So many instruments and sounds for you to start.
I'll put my Sony acid 8.0 cracked daw against anyone who paid top dollar for protools . I've learned that daw to the point where everyone who hears my music thinks I'm using protools .. and another thing u can get the cracked full version for free to get started .. I started out using acid as my only means now I choose to have the cracked acid 8.0 I tried 11 it's cool but I used to use 7.0 now I prefer the 8.0 cause the color was updated ..
I use Pro Tools and Fl Studio. As of now I day FL is the most bang for your buck. Entry price of 99 bucks plus free lifetime upgrades. Easy learning curve and great stock plugins
I listen to these budget studio gear YT's and either it really cheap gear that isn't too good or someone with a lot of expensive gear just trying to show off what they have. I have to say your giving excellent suggestions for getting started on a budget. I'm getting back into recording after years away and I'm using some of the same gear your recommending to get back into recording without breaking the bank. Thanks for making this video I'm sure it would help a lot people getting into recording.
That's the goal. Gear is cheaper than ever and a lot of it isn't necessary. That's all I want to make known. It kills me when people recommend thousands of dollars worth of stuff to people who aren't making profit yet.
Great choices I would agree. Don’t be afraid to mention the computer and most importantly the required specks to get the job done ✅
The only reason I didn't mention the PC in this video is because it doesn't require a strong PC for tracking. But that's definitely a video I plan on making in the future .
Its about recording vocals not production.
bro called out my entire setup 😂😂
Well that just means you agree with what I'm saying then 😂
That was a to the point video and easy to understand. Helped a lot. Thanks
I'm glad I was able to help! Best of luck in your journey!
I will never recommend a USB mic for someone, it's better to go for focusrite solo bundle 3rd gen, for the budget they are the best
The rode Nt1 5th isn't a true USB mic. I'm not recommending as a standalone unit. It has USB connectivity as a last resort but obviously it's full capabilities aren't utilized without phantom power via XLR. I'm recommending it based off it's practical use scenario. Which is why I recommended the scarlet solo. In my opinion that Mic bundled with that focusrite kit just ain't cutting it.
@@zaydiditI agree, from what I’ve heard the focusrite bundle isn’t that good so it’s worth getting stuff separately. I’ve got the Marantz MPM-1000 which sounds identical to the Tascam TM-80 for a lot cheaper. I’ve even gone for a different audio interface, the Behringer U-Phoria UMC204HD (the solo version is the UMC22 I think).
The new mic in the focusrite package deal sucks .. at minimum the audio Technica at 2020 was the best option to pair wit the Scarlett 3
And my mic was only 40 used beat that
Very informative, thank you for sharing 🙏🏾😊
You are welcome!
Boom ! The Man has it! Excellent Video!
Thanks! I'm trying to pass along good knowledge
I just found your channel and subscribed. was not aware of the Rode NT1 5th gen. going to pick one in the morning. I am a content creator for Altium Designer software and have a home studio. Looking forward to using this mic. Thanks
Thanks for the sub! Rode makes great mics. You definitely won't be disappointed!
On point man! The only thing I’d add is the 2nd and 3rd gen Scarlett’s can be found in the cheap. Me personally, I have a synth set up so I upgraded from the solo to the 2i2 for left and right channels. Anything beyond a 2i2 would if you want to track the entire band at once or you want to track each drum piece simultaneously
yea but tracking a whole band is a bit much for the audience of this video
Why would you not recommend using a wardrobe? I was thinking of putting foam pads up all over it
If it's big enough fine. But if done wrong your recordings can end up sounding boxy or completely lifeless
Great info, thanks for sharing..
Glad it was helpful!
thanks man love you
No problem!
I'd like to add shure sm58 with scarlett audio interface specially if you wanna record powerful vocals
That's definitely a good one!
I have the sm-58 and the scarlett 4i4. Korg M50 (88 key), Roland td-17kvx v drums. Very happy.
Quality content 🎉
Thanks. I try to deliver. Thanks for watching.
Im doing the same video soon however I have the AT4040 and will suggest that over The AT2020. I also have the NT1a which is still sold new everywhere but your right the Newer black one is a better.
I like the at4040 as well but it's 50 bucks more than the Rode. That NT1a made it through a lot of sessions for me. I use the WA8000 now and I'm not looking back but I wouldn't hesitate to use a NT1a if that's all I had.
@@zaydidit I used stuff most of the time.
@@HOLLASOUNDS I know that's real. Whatever is on hand right ?
@@zaydidit Nope, for that I would just record on a phone. Actually got some dam good recordings of My phone. Im not talking an entire song just some vocal adlibs washed in reverb to add to My beats, sounds pretty dope.
@@HOLLASOUNDS hmm that's interesting. I've done similar with a phone call so I can see that being a thing.
What about the Shure sv7 I just received this mic not sure on how to use it yet
Nice video, great recommendations!
Glad you like them!
Warm Audio 47j is an amazing microphone.
I haven't tried one I'll definitely demo one in the future
@@zaydidit I have the privilege of living 20 minutes from Sweetwater Sound and demoed a lot of microphones. Appreciate your videos.
I bought one used and I'm starting to like it as a backpack option! I have a Wa8000 in my studio and that's my go to
I’m eyeing the Rode NT1 mic and Focusrite Scarlett Solo. Good combo, huh?
Can't go wrong with it
sad by xxxtentacion was also recorded with an sm7
I wasn't aware of that
this one a classic too FOU HUNDRED DOLLARS!?
Preciate it! Yep Fo Hunnid Dollars!
do you HAVE to have speakers starting out or will just listening to your playback through your headphones be enough
Use what you have. Headphones can serve many purposes. Monitors are better for the most part but headphones will do just fine. Especially if you just starting out. Just make sure they are a decent pair.
I’m getting a MacBook Air m1 with a ssl 12 interface is that a good combo?
There's nothing wrong with that combo. The ssl interfaces are pretty good. 8 gigs is enough to record and mix a medium size session.
Where do we record if not in the closet my g?
Sometimes the middle of the room is the best option. Closets can be fine in some situations but it's a bit more boxy than I like.
@@zaydidit thx
Roll Tide!!!
Roll Tide!
Gotta remember you get what you pay for
this is true but there is no reason to break the bank for recording one person, especially if you aren't sure how to effectively use the equipment yet.
@@zaydiditI’m not talking about the focusrite lol
@@OfficialKm0neeyy what are you referring to
@@zaydidit the microphone
@@zaydidit and headphones but not really but the mic is crucial but I guess it don’t really matter if you setup ain’t sound treated right
