Home studio the right things?

So I want to set up a small home studio just to record vocals I'm not really good with the whole, so I would rather ask again before I make a miscount buy

So I need since I only want to record vocals only a microphone connection so I have opted for this interface

As a microphone set, I wanted to take this one

and to put it all at my table

and I would need your help with the headphones I want to buy beyerdynamics but do not know exactly which would be best and priced there's nothing

beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 32, 80 or 250 ohms

or should I get the same

buy beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro? At Thomann they all cost the same amount

Get a decent sound card if it should sound like something. The RME Babyface for example is top. Or Apogee

Okay wow. Is that really necessary? As I said I'm still a beginner and a ticket for 609 euro is quite expensive

The interface is ok for the money and also popular. However, the Steinberg UR12 and the Tascam US1x2 can also be supplied with a separate power supply if required. PCs tend to provide a very moderate DC voltage via the USB port; and unfortunately that sounds too.

Two entrances are not a bad thing. Maybe you want to get two things in the PC at the same time. Also, vocals recorded with two microphones are not uncommon. Also, a mic shoot-out, so decide which microphone fits better to the voice, is somehow nicer with shots from a take.

The NT1-A is just a Großmembrankondensatormikrofon and comes with all the disadvantages this microphone type has now compared to others. These microphones are often used for their overtone behavior resulting from the partial vibrations of the large membrane - for the 'Larger-Than-Life-Sound'. These partial vibrations do not necessarily sound good; and they do not do the NT1-A in my opinion either. It's just popular because it comes a frequency sweep that just sounds useful without EQing - This makes the thing but not necessarily nice to mix.

The question then is always how your room acoustics is and if you can make something useful there. With condenser microphones you get the not quite so beautiful surround sound very well mapped. Grade large diaphragm condenser microphones vary directivity according to frequency. In the depths they tend to tend to a ball characteristic. It removes sound from all sides.

For recording in living spaces dynamic voice coil microphones are quite interesting. This usually gives you less problems with the surround sound. The Shure SM57 is named by Recording Hacks as "probably the most popular microphone in history". This can be synonymous recordings for Grammy records or make every US president since 1965 can be called.

I can't say anything about the wall mount for a Playstation. But is HalfLife 3 already out? But if you want to hang your microphone on the wall somehow. To record so directly in front of walls is usually rather so medium.

To give you a signal when singing in, it is recommended to use a closed headphone. Otherwise, you might get problems with the 'bleed'; So that you take the sound of the headphones with you.

Open headphones are characterized by their open sound, the larger stage to mix and listen to the recordings. They tend to sound more linear than comparable closed models.

Thank you really Thank you for your effort

and sorry I've swapped the left of the bracket haha… (not laughed so much when it comes to social network)

that's what I meant

and yes I will consider everything you wrote

even if I do not understand everything so completely I'll think big thanks again!

Take the high-impedance ones, your interface has enough amplifier power. The higher the impendance, the better the sound. And take definitely the dt 770, the 990 are open, it may be that when recording sound from the headphones in the mic comes.

Pe

No it is not. For your purposes, the solo is perfect. Always those "professionals" who want to look oh so professional by suggesting expensive hardware.

First, I want to confirm everything that Karl says there!

Interface: Steinberg there (also on my PC) the USB parts are quite weak and can connect their own power supply.

Micro: NO USB and NO large diaphragm in normal rooms. If you of course build a speaker cabin where no reflections from the walls and no noise can come to the micro, then you can of course use such a large-capacity condenser. These parts take up ALL. Fan noise, footfall from above, passing cars. Every pups, every noise. They should take the finest subtleties of the voice. They can't distinguish between voice and a pup.

a "normal" Micro like the Shure SM 57 are quite universal and insensitive to the environment. I myself use the almost identical SM 58 when I have difficult acoustic conditions when performing with a lot of room reverb or feedback. An alternative is still condenser stage microphones. Not as sensitive as large diaphragm

I have the Samson C5 in this class. Really neat

Here you will learn a lot about microphones

So I can calmly take that with 250 ohms? Will that fit? With the interface?

Pe

Yes, that should work
