Goated mic
SM7B - Vocal Microphone - Shure USA
Great inexpensive mic. Have used this for years. It’s now my secondary mic but the quality is great. Pop filter usually needed tho.
P120 | High-performance general purpose recording microphone - AKG
If you’re going to get into music production, it’s worth it to spend extra on monitors. These are the best in my opinion and aren’t too expensive
HS5 5" Powered Studio Monitor - Yamaha-Shop USA
Most desk mic stands work great for home recording. Keep in mind that sm7b mics are heavier, so make sure your desk stand is strong
Amazon Best Sellers: Best Microphone Stands
Fairly cheap and extremely versatile. Even takes batteries and has a built in speaker if you want to use it without your laptop.
Keyboard Controllers | MPK Mini - Akai Pro
Best audio interface for everyone. Simple, and effective.
