Went to guitar center: got an XLR cable, Thunderbolt 3 cable, mic stand with arm, and I already have some nice Sony WH-1000XM Headphones & a pop filter. Almost there! Taking your mix prep course now.

Appreciated!

@dana Just got the Mic and Audio Interface today; excited! Unfortunately, I think I’m still missing a few pieces; it obvious this is my first time buying this equipment. Does it sound right that I would have to separately purchase a Thunderbolt 3 cable for the Apollo and a XLR cable for the JZ mic? Anything else to grab while I’m at it?

Just now seeing this. I was notified of your other replies, but not this one for whatever reason. Thank you again sir! I’m also excited.

Thank you for those suggestions @Jon_Plett! I’m looking them up as we speak. I did end up going with the Apollo Twin X, but I will be testing it out the next couple weeks to determine if I’m going to keep it or swap it out for something else?

So, in your opinion, the UAD’s biggest drawback is the preamp that is built into them? And from my novice understanding, this would be the gain that is applied to the signal to get it to line level to record?

Thanks for any and all guidance,

Taylor

Got it; and it was more that I didn’t get an email like last time, but I’ll pay attention to the bell.
