I was recording with apple earphones and garage band a MacBook at one point and I wouldnt know it was apple earphones just listening to it because the mix was solid so I’d say start with whatever you got and practice your mixing skills until you get the money to upgrade as long as have a computer you should be okay to record something

Different applications for both really. Yes, open back is better for mixing & mastering but not ideal if used for recording because then you’ll just get bleed into your takes so closed back is used for tracking. Closed back can still be used for both scenarios, so then it’s the better choice of the two if you could only pick one.
I think I spent around 200$ for my current set up, which also includes a NT1-A. A good place to look for stuff is Ebay or Craigslist or any pages like that

what about an Acoustic set up for example if I'm playing a guitar or something? (I am in AUD $) but it's fine I can convert the USD. I have tried getting my keyboard and guitar into the PC in the past but I'm a bit lost on how tbh.

do you still think the options you listed are good? also idk this matters, but i plan on recording some loud guitars-idk if that affects which mic i should get. thank you for this comment!!
Thank you for driving this point home! I’m tired of people saying they need thousands of dollars to start recording, and I always say no you don’t!😂 Honestly you can record in decent quality strait on your iPhone/ipad!😎
i remember trying to remove white noise on audacity and its not that great really. Theres dozens of reasons for white noise in recordings, maybe youre too far from the mic, maybe its your mic itself, maybe your fan or a/c is on. I hope u figure it out !
It really isn’t a set amount. It is up to you to get the sound you desire. Closer usually has more low end and higher normally has less. Closer will get more mouth noise and farther won’t. About 6 inches from the mic is usually best, but that varies.
Any laptop that can run ANY next gen game, can basically run most DAWs to the extent that a beginner musician will be using them. If not far beyond, you might notice some performance loss or lag if you are like trying to use 30 tracks, but it should still work just fine. The go to standard for music production is a Macbook, tho personally I'm not a fan of apple product environments, and Macs are a decent bit expensive. HP Pavillion series, Lenovo Thinkpad series, Dell XPS 15, etc are all great budget friendly laptops for music production and other medium heavy duty creative use.
Ok I have a line 6 helix which interface can I plug the helix and a mic into simultaneously or can the helix go in as a separate interface I've heard people tell me about that in the past
I love how straightforward this is

Bandlab is a respectable free daw. It comes down to more on what your running it on and what gear your using.
you don't specifically need closed backs, and more often than not, open backs have superior quality and soundstage

Can you create a video on mic placement for recording vocals?
Singer should know how to use a mic, and move there head to and away from the mic during low volume and high volume Proformerce.
It really isn’t a set amount. It is up to you to get the sound you desire. Closer usually has more low end and higher normally has less. Closer will get more mouth noise and farther won’t. About 6 inches from the mic is usually best, but that varies.
Close to the mic with a low volume and some compression should be a good starting point. Maybe add a noise gate
Which software would you recommend?
You can get a mixing desk from behringer for the same price as a Scarlett
thanks
Replace AT2020 with a AKG P120, and replace that sennheiser with a takstar pro 82. Interface is enough.
