🎤🎧🎤🎧 Do Expensive Studio Equipment Really Matter?? 🔥🔥
I have an Audio Technica AT2020 that I got from Guitar Center for around $100.I recorded the vocals below in Audacity but only compressed, delayed, EQ'd, and Reverbed in FL Studio
I record in my cousin's closet which is full of clothes LOL and a shit acer laptop sits on the shelf.
https://underground100.com/losvocalsample.mp3
^This is what I get when fucking around with noise reduction, EQ's, compressing vocals, etc.
It’s possible with a cheaper mic as well, like a $50 Blue Snowball. I only got the AT2020 though.

Sir, if you’re going to post stupid shit, leave it to a thread that contains stupid shit.
This thread is for the benefit of actual musicians. People who can actually rap on a beat. Again save your posts for a thread where there’s actual bullshit. Thank you.

Now do you absolutely need expensive equipment
to make music? Obviously No
However think about it- would labels spend hundreds of thousands of $ on professional studio time if it didn’t matter?
So with that said,
Depends on what you’re doing.
Example:
1. getting radio/commercial airplay -then yes
2. Fuck the radio- then no
Example 2: is the AT2020 any good?
1. recording vocals? -depends on the vocal
2. Will you be screaming into it? then fk no
3. Will you be tracking silky drake (lmao) tones? Then tbh i would go with a darker toned mic.
4. Will you be tracking room ambience? Or at distances greater than 3feet from mic?
Then Fk no

To be fair, you honestly don’t need expensive to get radio air play. As I said if you can put together a dope ass mix, and a solid master, you really don’t need a studio budget higher than $500.
If you have a simple non expensive mic recording, send it to me. I’ll clear it up and show you what I mean.

Well currently I’m recording with an independent label, and they have a 1500 mic. A booth, etc. The vocals sound good, but it depends on the mix tbh. You can have clear vocals but if the mix is trash won’t do you any good.
---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------
I recorded and mixed all the songs on my profile, $150 dollar mic, and the quality is good. Not quite radio ready, but hella solid.
I think you need an expensive mic to get radio ready vocals tbh. Don’t think you can get radio ready with AT2020. Vocals might sound good, but there’s a big difference between good and radio ready.

Also on those vocals you posted. Think you need a slight de-esser. S’s coming through.

No offense but that vocal u posted has tons
Of issues,
and if you need to “clean up”
A vocal then it really wasn’t recorded properly.
and yes equipment matters
And no the radio won’t play low budget recordings.
And also I used to engineer for a living.
But thanks for the offer.
Edit:
However Punk I do agree with you, in that You don’t need expensive equipment to make great music.
