Also this is the microphone I used: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020USB-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00B5ZX9FM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=39EV58L24QP2X&dchild=1&keywords=audiotechnica+at2020+usb&qid=1630786954&sprefix=audiote%2Caps%2C229&sr=8-7

You can stand it up out of the frame and it makes your voice an incredible amount clearer. Plus no static or background noise. It’s pricier, but I also do some music stuff so it was worth it for me to have. Then just threw in an AirPod to hear, and my whole set up was super clean and smooth. Worked perfectly.

I guess the first question is - why are you getting a mixer? If it's just to connect an XLR mic to the computer, go check out Sure X2U. Secondly, don't buy that mic - it's cheap garbage. If you want a quality mic that will last at a decent price point go get an AT2020. There is also a USB version that will remove the need for a mixer.

Response got long winded. TLDR I'm using this now which was the solution for me: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020USB-PLUS-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00B5ZX9FM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1474319029&sr=1-1&keywords=at2020+usb+plus


My solution was a different microphone. Unfortunately I suspect it won't be the solution in your case. I was using this AKG Pro Audio P3S Dynamic Microphone. After some research I came to the conclusion that Dynamic Microphones aren't really great for recording vocals. At least compared to other types such as Condenser Microphones.

Anyway, before getting my new microphone I tried a cheap Logitech desktop Mic I had in storage (I have no idea why its $40, I got it for ~$8). This was better than the Dynamic Mic but not by much.

So I decided to get a new microphone. I wanted something nice so I started researching condenser microphones. The small issue with them is they usually need a preamp of some kind, as far as I could tell anyway. Good preamps can be $100 bucks and I'm not one to cheap out on hardware so I wasn't going to get a low end one.

Instead I decided on the Audio Technica AT2020 USB Plus. This way the preamp is built into the microphone and everything is converted to digital at the microphone instead of inside the computer, which avoids any interference. This solved my problem with people hearing me in discord.

You definitely want a condenser mic like repelican said. this is an example of a solution that might work well for you.

An AT-2020 is a condenser mic, which means it needs 48 volts of power. You need an interface or mixer or other unit to provide that.

  • So, no, that cable will not work for your needs.
  • Never, ever, use a microphone plugged into the 3.5mm jack in your computer. It will sound like absolute garbage.
  • If your funds are that low, you may have no choice but to buy an "all-in-one" USB mic for now. Audio Technica makes a USB version of the 2020.

Let us know if you have more audio setup questions.

Hot tip: Your biggest sound issue is going to be a quiet and non-echoey recording space, not your mic.

The mic should've come with a small mount, usually its a small metal threaded ring that screws onto the bottom of the mic -- you can see it here on the amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT2020USB-Cardioid-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B00B5ZX9FM
It's the part that mounts it to the tripod legs.

If you've lost that part, do not despair. There are good, cheap options that are better than that little mount.

Hop back on amazon and search for "Universal Shock Mount" they squeeze around the mic and will mount to the scissor arm. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=universal+shock+mount just find one that is compatible with the diameter of your mic.

For whichever one you select, you may also need an adapter for the threads. Often scissor mounts are a different threading than mic stands. Once again, search amazon for "5/8-Inch Male to 3/8-Inch Female Microphone Screw Adapter" Some mounts will come with it, some wont.
