  • Audio interfaces don’t have to be super pricy. I have both focus right Scarlett’s (pricey) but for work machine I use this SubZero branded unit as it’s USB and plug and play meaning I don’t need to beg IT for any additional drivers or software. I also like that the basic controls are physical buttons rather than in software.

    It then means you can scour the web for second hand studio/PA gear which is often much better than “streaming” gear and often cheaper. May be overkill and certainly isn’t as easy as plugging in a single usb external mic but a potential option.

  • Audio interfaces don’t have to be super pricy

    His entire budget is around the £100 mark, if the audio interface is £80 and he doesn't have a mic, mic stand, cable, and potentially a gain lifter (mic pre-amp)... then he's not going to get all of that for £20-30.

    I'm with you on having nice studio stuff, it's rock solid and barely ages, but the costs are not in favour of it around this price point.

  • Oh absolutely agree for the £100 mark. But that interface ( has phantom power, preamps) plus second hand SM7B I’d hope wouldn’t run more than £300 inc cables and mini desk tripod vs £850. As always, options available when you know more but absolutely depends on the use case :)
