Hello all, I am quite new to audio recording in general, but I had done some gaming videos before, I am planning to return to that and I want to have OK audio to start with. Generally I used to use audacity to record some noise and then use noise removal, because with gain all up mic is picking lots of it.
I currently have some old unbranded condenser microphone what has XLR to 3.15mm cable what I can technically connect right to pc, but volume on that is quite low due to no phantom power I guess and as said very nosiy.
I am considering to buy one of that semi cheap mics like bm-800, 700 or nw-800, as far as I know they are phantom powered. So I decided to go one step further than just buying phantom power supply, I decided to go for some cheap mixer as it can bu more useful in future.
As of now I dont have any instruments ether, but I may go for some sound board / guitar or something some time in future.
I have few options (from local music store):
1) BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UM2 for 39 Euros from local store
2) BEHRINGER XENYX 302 USB for 56 Euros from local store
3) BEHRINGER XENYX 502 for 43 Euros from local store
4) BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC22 for 49 Euros from local store
5) Some cheap phantom power supply for ~15 euros from ebay/aliexpress
What should I get ? 502 seems more advanced than 302, but it is cheaper, I like that 302 has some more controls over low and high end, um2 seems to be cheapest audio interface with XLR I could find.
With of above options should I go for ? I personally like 302, but it is more expensive, not sure it is worth it. Maybe um2 is fine ?
