Hi All,

I hope this is ok to post,
Need a little help from you my 14 year old has just started teaching himself guitar and recording music, he keeps doubting himself thinking his recordings aren't very good, would you all be able to just have a quick look on his YouTube to get his views up, also leave a comment if you like it, I don't want him to lose interest and stop playing, can anyone recommend a good microphone for music recording?? I'm going to get him one but I don't have a clue what I'm looking at.

Many Thanks

FocusRite do a fairly decent start package with an audio interface and a pretty ok all purpose mic assuming he will be using some kind of DAW to lay the tracks. If he is going to get serious about recording then a decent set of monitors / cans would be where to make the bulk of the investment.

He using a Minilab MkII Midi Controller at the moment I got it cheap from marketplace, I don't mind spending a bit on getting him a better setup as he hasn't really shown this much interest in other hobbies before so I would like him to keep it up.

Might be best asking here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/the-official-guitar-thread.18665777/

However, wildman says, I'd recommend a used Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3 and a used AT2020 mic (XLR version!) to go with it. You'll need an XLR cable to connect the two. It's a simple plug and play audio interface (I have one myself but not the mic). I assume he has some headphones already.

He could also plug in an electric guitar alongside this too if he liked. If he wanted to branch into vocals and acoustic guitar simulaneously you can pick up the Scarlett 2i2 (plus extra mic etc).

I must have missed that thread, ill have a look on there, he's just using his gaming headset at the moment I'm going to have to do a bit more research into all this equipment lol
thanks for the reply.
