RECORDING

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...-compact-mixer

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...ack-headphones

that was my recording set up, i had different monitors(speakers), but those are probably better, they were the cheapest 5'' woofer monitors on there. I have 3'' akai's right now and there is 0 bass response. can't hear any low frequencies. the cheap 70 dollar sanyo's or whatever i had were better lol. but word. that mic is cheap, but is all anyone needs. the mixer has phantom power, which means it basically can power the mic. but yea, i had no pop filter, no soundproofing, nothing. just the mic set up in my room. not even in the corner, or centered etc, just in an open space against my wall lol. recorded excellent. i don't know how people get such shitty sound from home recording when using condensors, that mic was my first experience and it was fine. if you want to buy a cheap pop filter tho, and you can buy a cheap sound thing, that clips on to your mic and surrounds like 3/4 of the mic as well to dead any outside noise, but honestly its not needed. those headphones were the cheapest "closedback" headphones. those are all you need. you want closed back headphones because what that means is the sound coming out of them is confined to your ears when on your head. the sound doesnt bleed through, and your mic won't pick up what your listening to, so all it will record is your voice. the mixer is just a cheap 4 input mixer, really you only need 1 input but that is the mixer i had and i liked it alot.

you plug the mixer into your pc via usb, your pc views it as a sound card. you plug the speakers into the outputs of the mixer and you plug the mic into the main input

bada boom.

now as far as

MAKING BEATS

i would use these headphones

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-a...dphones?pfm=sp

everything else i already linked works fine with making beats as well. i wouldnt use these headphones to record with, i mean you absolutely can, they're not super loud, they are on your head, but i mean if someone was sitting next to you with them cranked up, you could definately hear what theyre listening to, so its not ideal for recording

but those headphones are classic. they aren't pretty but they've been in every studio since forever lol. they play back sound exactly as it is, without any coloring. there are better headphones, sure, but i wouldnt want to recommend anything i havent used myself personally, and i don't know your budget.

as far as what to actually make beats with

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/softw...gnature-bundle

all you will ever need. use that in conjunction with everything else you got. don't be phased by what muff said tho, getting good at making beats with ANYTHING is hard work, not just FL. FL can do anything any person who has ever made a beat before can do tho. you can do anything with it.

for recording adobe audition is fine. any recording software is fine, you can record in FL as well and do everything in FL.
