I'm having an existential crisis over microphones
I'm a beginner looking for my first professional microphone setup and oh god did I not realize I'd be all over the place.
Let me elaborate on what I mean when I say first professional microphone setup. The microphone I've used for the past 3 months of my voice acting journey was a cheap mic (sf-666) I bought online. When I bought it, I didn't know that I would start voice acting.
But yeah, now I'm voice acting and I'm looking to upgrade my mic setup to a more professional sounding one. I've been thinking for like the past month about if I should keep saving up to buy better equipment or buy the equipment with the money I've earned now (Imagine if your monthly income is $170). Because what if I regret buying such low-end products that I'll only use for a few months before upgrading to a better one?
I'm leaning more towards the 2nd option, and I've been eyeing the Maono PD200X Microphone and the Maono PS22 audio interface. But I don't know, I feel like there could be more professional options that are within the same budget as them.
I don't know anymore!! Please, I need your help!!!
