Damn that's a lot of money to record sound. Although I'm surprised the headphones are so cheap really
I think I must have spent around $75000 or more to get set up, kind of lost track... just the PVC pipe for my sound booth was $85 + $300 in acoustic blankets/padding... damn I better find a way to get profitable with this new endeavor XD
Fortunately I have the basics... My office has wooden floors and is normally filled with echoes, so it was kind of worth the crazy blankets.
A lot of the headphones are around $150 - $300, but I think this model will work... AudioTechnica makes cheaper ones so I might consider those...
The cheapest route to record decent sound is to get a handheld mic with SD card (H2N) and record in one's vehicle. The acoustics are pretty good! Budget: $200 or so.
I really should get a mic but I do everything off my phone.. the shitty pics and piss poor sound give it a nostalgic feel 😂
There was some guy on youtube who recording off his phone and he got up to 1 million subscribers - went full time!
So, professional audio often takes a back seat to humor or other interesting content. Unless someone has the intention of being a voice over artist, the pricey stuff isn't really all that needed I'm thinking...
Wow, good list. I've just been using a very low range 70 dollar amazon purchase of an external mic that has a very mid to low rang lav mic. I end up using the lav mic more even indoors as it helps to cut down on external sound and if I clip it under a scarf it seems to do ok. Also audacity (which I'm sure you are aware of) is a great free plug and play thing to help reduce background noise post production in WAV files. Good luck!
Do you have a youtube channel and I'm not seeing the link? I've JUST started that journey myself, though late in the game as 2020 looks like youtube is more and more rewarding BIG stars and bought audience, but it's fun anyway!
You're right, it may be too late to get a foothold, but it's worth a try I guess...
I have a new channel, I'll share the link tomorrow... I've abandoned my character animation channels, there's no profit there... Of course the paid influencers encourage everyone to start, screaming that there's still hope... Time will tell...
My micro is relatively cheap ($180) but it's made by a small company that hand-assembles their mics with added high-end components, so I'm happy with the sound :)
Going pro!
Or slightly less amateur :)
