I own my own recording studio, so let's get down to business.
I would recommend a Steinber UR22 for a digital interface as it can record at 24 Bit and 192,000khz sampling rate which means excellent quality. You can record from two microphones at once and it connects to your computer and is powered by USB. They sell for $129 at Guitar Center. They have two inputs for XLR microphone cables or 1/4 inputs.
I would suggest a Shure SM7B for a great voiceover microphone as it is dynamic rather than being a condenser, so it won't pick up feedback in a non treated room. They are used by announcers worldwide for voiceovers and run $350 at Guitar Center.
Next, You will need a good tripod microphone stand or any good microphone stand really but it should be sturdy at the Shure microphone I suggested is a decently hefty microphone and you don't want it to tip the microphone stand over and break. You could though just buy a cheap stand and use bags of sand to hold the base down of it steady.
You will need a microphone cable to run from the microphone to the interface. I would suggest a Mogami gold series cable as they don't overly compress the audio and have great frequency response and clarity. They also carry a lifetime warranty. A 15ft cable is plenty and should run around $50 at Guitar Center.
You would plug your headphones into the digital interface that I described and that would eliminate you electronic interference issue.
If you have any questions at all, I will be more than happy to help. Feel free to send me a private message anytime.
Have a great day!
Heyy ! Thanks for the awesome quick reply man
![:) :)]()
I wont pm just in case anyone else wants to do the same or find out some decent information :3
I looked at a youtube comparison of that SM7B and oh wow it gives such a pure sound ! The other thing I was interested in about it would be if it would pick up keyboard sounds etc? I know i can edit them out but still, hard to be 100%
Would it be quite good for use about 1 foot away, maybe more? And maybe not in the direct line of my speech??
The Steinberg UR22 looks fantastic too, will the headphone port pick up my computers sound and not just input?
