Audio Recording Setup
Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen USB Audio Interface - This lets you plug your XLR mic into your computer, adjust it’s volume levels, and monitor the sound as you’re recording.
Shure SM58-LC Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone - This has been an industry gold-standard for years, for good reason. I use it to record in my New York City apartment and it does an excellent job of NOT picking up all the background noise!
I use this windscreen for it as well.
If you have a larger budget, I’d go with this Shure mic instead.
I also use this mic stand and this pop filter.
