Hey everyone,
I'm currently in the process of doing a complete overhaul of my audio setup for my personal rig at home. I use it for an unhealthy amount of hours after work for various projects, gaming, and other hobbies. After spending quite a bit of money building my dream PC, I feel like it's time to start with the audio overhaul.
I'm very new to anything audio related, so I really need some guidance. I've researched a bit, and I /THINK/ I have everything I need down.
- Audiotechnica AT2035
- Schiit Magni 3 Amp
- Scarlett 2i2 (I do some podcasts from time to time, that's why I don't use the solo)
- Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm
To my knowledge, this is all I would need for a decent audio/recording setup, right?
AT2035 for the microphone, obviously. The Scarlett 2i2 to connect the XLR cable into, and the then the 2i2 into the PC. The Magni 3 for the amplifier to get the 80 ohms my headphones can push. Do I have the right, or am I missing something?
Also, is the AT2035 a solid choice for someone not looking to spend an arm and a leg for a good microphone? I currently use a $50 digital reference, and have been for years. Realistically, I like to have the microphone positions slightly above my monitor(s) out of immediate sight (not blocking any of my screens). Is a condenser microphone good for that? I have my entire office padded with acoustic foam panels, roughly 96 of them (1ft x 1ft panels)
