bro i feel ya. I would just try using the mic on your phone if you got one. most of them are OK now, just know that you would not want to use your phone to record something for a final mix. tbh, I am just getting into the recording and mixing game, so I dont have a ton of exp or kit yet. That said, I am asking for a Shure SM85 for Christmas so that I can record acoustic guitar (bronze phosphor strings for low-E through G, coated steel for B and high-E). If I dont get it for xmas, probably will just buy it.

Keep in mind, you will need a decent audio interface to connect your mic to your pc. I have a focusrite scarlet 2i2. I haven't used it for mics yet, but it lets me play my guitar directly into my pc and it works well. A good interface like the scarlet also lets you adjust gain (to prevent clipping) and should have different options to power your mic. e.g., some mics use phantom power, so make sure that whatever interface you get has this option.

sm58, not 85. my bad

Ill get you a link

https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Scarlet2i2G3--focusrite-scarlett-2i2-3rd-gen-usb-audio-interface here is the interface I have. focusrite has a cheaper model, the scarlet solo, that can also get you into the game just as well, however, the 2i2 has two audio jacks instead of one. This is good because it gives you the ability to position multiple mics at the same time. You would likely want to do this if your recording an instrument and singing at the same time, or if you want multiple angles on your sound source.

another thing the solo doesnt have is the ability to plug in either instrument cables or mic cables. That's the main reason I bought the 2i2, because I wanted to have the ability to plug a guitar into my pc.

shop around too because there are cheaper interfaces out there. I just personally like the focusrite ones.

and obviously, don't forget cables and a mic stand if you want to rec. instruments.

hope this helps. My last bit of advice is to do your own research. I can tell you what I think all day, but you situation is unique to you. Ask your own questions, do your own digging, and you'll find what you need. :)

oh, you will also need a daw. Just get Abelton 10 lite. I use that and it is perfectly fine for small projects. This is free and doesnt take up too much of your CPU if your careful.

its packed with good features too.

In 20 years from now no one is gonna know who tf the top “musicians” are rn

Also wanna know something really funny

@KaiserWally meanwhile you got people like Sabaton, AC/DC, Motley Crue, and Led Zepplin who still are recognizable, and thats just what i can name off the top of my head

Exactly

Hell even Eminem is still recognizable

And Queen

And the Beatles

Etc

Beatles are still popular like 60 years later too

Drake is gonna get forgotten in 10 years

Elvis, although he's not that popular anymore

I don’t think so

Marty Robbins has been pretty much immortalized by Fallout New Vegas

Never played fallout

I like Marty Robbins tho

Big Iron
