need help starting off (indie engineer)

[Howie J]

Decent way to start there...

The only thing I don't like in there is the Behringer B-1. I still have 2 B-2's I bought as my first mics....one is now fairly inoperable. Makes a great crappy telephone type sound, the other one is just....meh.

Push toward the upper end of the price range and pick up an AT-4040, Rode, sE or something.

i wasnt too sure about the Behringer B-1, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction in terms of a mic. im really liking what im hearing about the AT-4040 in the reviews.

I'm an admitted AT fan, and have used or own most of their mics and own 3 different models of their headphones.

Always a good bang for buck mic.

What are your thoughts on the audio interface that I listed? And are there any that you would suggest ?

Try looking for a used BLUE Bluebird, its a pretty good mic for your purposes. You can probably find one used for around $200.

Also my first monitors were the original bx5a and i thought they kicked ass, never shoulda sold them. Good luck, and just rec rec rec!
