You need a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). If you don't want to drop $$$ on Pro Tools, check out Reaper. (Pro Tools also kind of sucks for MIDI, if you want REALLY good midi production, look at Ableton Live)

You also need an audio interface to hook up any mics/instruments up (If the keyboard is usb midi, you don't need anything else to hook that up). Microphones hook up with XLR, and instruments generally with 1/4" TS connectors. Something inexpensive like this would probably work.

If you want to record anything that's not digital, you need a mic. If you're just recording vocals, a Shure SM58 would be a good mic to check out, or the GLS-58 for only $30. If you're recording amplified instruments, the SM57 (or GLS-57) is a great choice that's not too expensive.

Don't forget your speakers (or monitors, as they're referred to in the audio production world). They are crucial. If you want to go with headphones, check out the Sennheiser HD280s, but know that headphones are very much not preferred for working on music.

You can get a GLS Audio ES-58 SM-58 clone for $39. I have a ton of these and they're great mics. I've used them when running sound for quite a few touring bands.

First off, as a soccer player... YES! Glad that you're going on that subject. Have a name yet?

So for starting a podcast there are a couple of different options for two people. For the best quality with two people, i'd recommend a couple of dynamic microphones and a USB. You can get setup for around $150 with this option.

The other is using a Blue Yeti USB mic and sharing it for about $100.

Here's some links to my recommendations. I've recorded Joe Rogan and other high profile peeps on this dynamic mic setup (with just a more expensive mixer... but this recommended one will work too on the cheap.)

Mics:
GLS Audio SM58 or for the one USB option w/ no mixer needed... Blue Yeti

Audio Interface:
Art USB Dual

I have a whole guide on starting a podcast that may be of help for you at PodcastingPro.com. I also have a recommended gear guide there as well.

Let me know if you need further help!

There is this strange misconception among new podcasters, that they need condenser mics. I'm not sure where it comes from, but the AT2020, is, in fact, a condenser mic, and thus not good for podcasting. However, obviously, a dynamic mic surely won't do for 2 people on 1 mic (truly, the only way you could do this properly and have it sound any good would be with an expensive omnidirectional mic. and a very well treated room. In which case... why?)

What mic to get depends solely on your budget.
You should take into account the cost of a USB interface or mixer, cables, stands, and mics.

The cheapest dynamics I can recommend are the GLS Audio ES58's, which are very low cost clones of the SM58 (they're in the guide.

If for some reason you simply cannot afford 2 of these low cost mics and a cheap 2 input interface or mixer, the 2020 will work for recording 2 people, but keep in mind, that even condenser mics have a "sweet spot", in front of the mic, so if you're not in that spot you're not going to sound very professional, you'll have everything on a single channel for editing, and you'll still have the issue of room noise, with the condenser (likely magnified, since you'll be needing to turn the gain up to capture you both).

A resident live looper here. Need to know your budget.

Right on the button with a dynamic microphone. 58clone if you don't have one would be a great budget choice. 30 bucks

Software CAN be expensive, finicky, and has a learning curve. But definitely possible with a macbook pro. You'll need an audio interface. You'll WANT a physical interface to record/play/overdub/trigger loops, you could use just about anything. Ableton Live with a Korg pad controller. You'll need to map it. 100-700

Kaosspad isn't low budget or beginner friendly, because it is very expressive. Requires the Kaosspad and a mixer/interface at the end of the chain.~400+

Need some tracking headphones, probably something really sealed depending on how loud you monitor yourself. Don't want to get any bleed on your loops. ~40?


Edit: macbook + mobius looper + korg pad + scarlett 2i2 + superlux headphones + gls es58? $210. Won't be easy to use. Won't be beautiful. But it'll get the job done.

the simpliest way to loop would go super old school with a simple guitar looper and a mixer. ES58 > Mixer > fx loop send (digitech jamman solo/boss rc-2) > fx loop return. Get the cheapest used mixer, used jamman/rc-2, and a gls es58

Go build some DIY mic isolators. I talk about how I made them here.

Also, you want dynamic mics if you can. There's a great and cheap Shure SM 58 knockoff made by GLS. They are $30 each and they are fantastic little dynamic mics.

u/davidhooper · 1 pointr/podcasting

https://amzn.to/2jVbENf is a $30 SM58 knockoff that sounds great.

What you really need is an interface. And interface takes the analog signal of your microphone and digitizes it for the computer to use. This is essentially the same as what your onboard sound card does but for audio is better in basically every way. Quality, flexibility, whatever...

This is the cheapest interface I could even sort of recommend. If you have more to spend, I would recommend doing so, but this should sound ok. You are limited to 1 mic which may or may not become a problem eventually. The 2 mic version is a little more expensive but worth it imo. I recently upgraded to a 4 input interface with the ability to expand.

If you can return that mic, do. It will work, but there are better mica for your use for less money. From my limited knowledge, dynamic mice are better for spoken word. They are marginally less crisp but also pick up WAY less background noise. Most broadcasters use nice dynamics like and RE20 or and SM7B. I would buy this instead of your current mic. I have the 57 (instrument version) and it's a solid mic for the money. It's not the end all be all, but it get useable sounds out of anything I point it at.
