Recorded two albums with SM58 and I can't say bad word about it.

I partscast. Good neck, pickups, bridge is where I may spend a bit.

i have buy a bunch of mics from stagg or berhinger , yee they sound grate , you can get 5 cheap sm57copy mics for the price of 1 , sure sm57 and 99% of people will not be able to tell the difference , and also 90% of people lessen to music on laptop or phone speakers or with cheap small earbuds , or on car speakers ,

Spot on Paul. It's what you put into your effort that counts. Having said that, the SM58 isn't the workhorse it has been for the past 60 years if it wasn't any good.

I am SO GLAD some one told the REAL truth about a mics besidez NO mic soundz $5000 better than SM58 even SM57 shure been around FOREVER and to dis day ALL nu mics alwayz trying 2 compare against sm58 that along should tell EVERYBODY something

This video made me realize I had ASIO the whole time and just never selected that option because I didn’t know what it was… should have seen my face, THANK YOU

Great video. Really enjoy your channel

stairway to Heaven solo how do I get this tone?

A single channel interface might be ok for someone gaming or doing a podcast who will never have a guest but for music getting at least a two channel interface is a generally a pretty good idea. Even if someone is happy with a single mic on say an acoustic guitar or an amp cab using two is a rather common technique and might be something that you might want to try at some point. For bass guitar recording direct signal plus another channel with mic on an amplifier is another thing many do. If you record keys direct without MIDI would be yet another reason for having two inputs. Another thing would be recording vocals and an instrument at the same time. While some people prefer everything separate others simply perform better say playing guitar and singing simultaneously especially those who don't record to a click and instead prefer to make their own natural timing. While you can certainly save money by purchasing an interface with less channels, not boxing yourself in by purchasing too few is worth some thought as recording acoustic drums or a live band are not the only reasons for having more inputs.

why does it say my interface is unplugged

Thank's, I was also looking for a guitar amplifier and initially had Focusrite Scarlett Solo in my shortlist... but then I decided on Lekato, this is not an advertisement but to be fair: you plug the thing into the guitar, plug in the headphones or the PC audio input and can choose between rich sounds all the way to rock/metal .. 🙂💥

Mojave MA - D is better than 99% dynamic mics. For home studio recording GTZ U 87 is the best budget option. It costs just 150 bucks.

I have a SM58 and a $50 Marantz MPM 1000 condenser. In my limited experience, the cheap condenser with some couch pillows thrown around the room does a much better job for a final recording. Especially in the editing and pitch correction phase. The dynamic mic suffers from a lot of artifacts, which makes it sound unnatural and overprocessed. This doesn't happen to the condenser.

Gracias!

What about a stupidly inexpensive condenser microphone? I use an MXL MCA SP1 which to my ears sounds much better than my more expensive SM58.

I'm still using a Yamaha Audiogram 3 as my interface and Sonar X1 Studio as my DAW.

I think it really depends on the level you're doing things at. I have two mix engineer friends (both are definitely well respected and worked and top of the country) who can hear the slightest transient difference between a Prism Lyra and an Audient id44 mk2. Granted, they're listening on high-end monitors with well trained ears. I can't hear the same difference but I can definitely hear the difference between a Behringer interface and my Audient. Since I'm a good guitar player, the difference in tone between a Gibson and an Epiphone Les Paul is immediately apparent to me. But I can imagine that a guitar player who's just starting out wouldn't hear the difference to be as striking because their ears aren't trained yet.

Why is the audio quality of your video only so so? You are using a mic in a bad position, possibly the mic was also not good as well.

Now also go off brand. You can find better mics that are cheaper if you give up the Shure label. Shure is making great mics, but in the cheap section there are more competitive players.

Gracias!

Yes, you're a minimalist. Many of us have played longer than you & can afford to buy whatever the hell we want, just from playing guitar on the side. Plus we hold down jobs, raise families, etc. Exampke: What the hell would I buy a laurel fingerboard far, rather than rosewood? In the '80s you could buy a YUGO car for under 5K. Did you own that fine piece of automotive machinery? BTW, where can we buy your new record or cd?

The better advice is "don't pay for an upgrade unless you can tell the difference". But you will be able to once your ears are more experienced. For example, the noise floor on a more expensive condenser mic is much lower. So the expensive mic picks up on tiny details that make it feel more real...and don't stomp this out with the mic's internal noise. These differences, and other subtleties, are hard to detect in solo, but over several tracks they add up to a better mix.

I am a musician and a sound engineer and I totally agree with you

Dont buy a $50 interface youll regret it and just have to spend more money later spend at least $100

If your recording at home and you dont have good sound proofing make sure you get a dynamic mic not a condensor

I have a scarlett gen 4 it sounds fantastic super low noise and very clear

I agree with your sentiment though don't get me wrong, its all about the sound source and the song

If you go compare the scarlett series to clarett or another high end interface you can clearly hear a difference. No I'm not justifying a purchase as I don't even use high end interfaces. However, a better sounding interface isn't going to make you a better producer

If you can't get a good sound with an SM58 then you won't get good sound with a more expensive mic.

Super good advice! Just do it!

TH-cam knows me so well. It knew i needed to see this video. Thanks for making it. 👍🤘

My tip: have your guitar/instrument on a stand and ready to go e.g. tuned or tuner clipped on, use an inline tuner for electric. Keep something ready to practice such as a sheet of music, tab or some notes on exercises.

Hello sir are you looking for a Professional TH-cam thumbnail designer and video SEO expert?

I use some singing apps with just my smartphone and headphones, i bought a dynamic mic SE V7, will try to connect how it works

a true artist never streals. a true artist first admires, and second learns. if he may so advance to the final stage of the revolution; he begins to teach other artists the entire logic of theft/ownership and using this to advance your "skill" is in the realm of business/sales artistry

Thanks! 👍

Great tips, especially video taping.❇

Thanks for video.

Welcone to the party mate. You’re a bit late, but you’re here at least…

The Falsettos in Sm58 Sounds Awful, That's why Matt Bellamy never used Sm58, I had an AKG D5 and Falsettos Sounds Perfect, so that's the Massive Difference for me!!

Noodle around while watching TV ..... love it. Saw the Noel Gallagher interview on That Pedal Show, apparently he does the same!!

It is perfectly fine to nick other people's chord changes. No law against it. I recently took the suggestion of a Ab to Ebmin chord progression and used it to activate a piece. I also took a Gmin to Gb chord progression and used it to construct a composition. Both pieces turned out well.

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏🏻, Thank you for your device, amazing!

I have lot of fun with Type 1 : Ipad 10th Gen, DAW, Scarlett Focusrite 2i2, Akg headphones, copy of 58 Beta mic, bass guitar and Warwick amp !

Yep thats me. THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤

Thank you again. ❤ very guud advice

Thank You i needed this. Subbed ❤

Strange.... say "use the mic" and does not use the mic in the video xD

This video is still valid 🔥🔥

With a Scarlet and a guitar set the input gain on the interface to zero, otherwise you're overdriving the amp sim input. They are auto set for z input. The gain control is for mics. just saying.
