You also get a pair of microphones - the EM-91C large-diaphragm condenser and the EM-89D dynamic vocal mic - that can cover almost any musical application you can imagine. This USB interface has an integrated talkback feature and can double as your monitor controller.

The star of the show is the Mackie Big Knob Studio 3x2. Have some cash burning a hole in your pocket and want to complete your recording setup? The Mackie Studio Bundle gives you everything you need to create and mix professional recordings. Recording Bundle with Mackie Big Knob 3x2 Studio Interface, 2 CR3-X Monitors, EM-91C Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone, EM-89D Vocal Microphone, MC-100 Closed-back Headphones, Cables, and Other Accessories There's a lot of them but that just means there's a lot you can learn from him. I personally like Adobe audition but I know people who swear by logic just depends what you click with :)īest advice I can give a beginner is to get yourself over to voice acting mastery (Crispin Freeman's site) and start listening to his podcasts from number 1. Software wise you get a budget version of some program or another but for a beginner I'd just suggest you practice with audacity until you learn the basics before moving onto something more fancy if/when you feel you need it. I'd spend the rest on soundproofing a recording space money is far better spent there at the beginning than on a fancier mic or headphones (although they should be upgraded once you improve). With your budget you'll still need to pick up a mic stand and a pop filter but that's about it. The second input is mainly for instruments so musicians can sing with the mic input and have a guitar/bass line recording at the same time but for what you'll be doing, you likely won't use that input so much. You won't get much professional work with the mic but if you're just starting, I wouldn't worry about that too much as it'll be inexperience and not the mic that holds you back at the beginning. The Scarlett Solo pack is a great bundle for a novice to learn on.
