<\/a><\/p>\n When creating a YouTube channel one of the first things that you need to think about is your equipment. There are over 100 Hours of video uploaded to YouTube every MINUTE, and in order for you to stand out you will need some equipment that will help you do that.<\/p>\n There are 3 different things that are CRUCIAL to have before uploading your first video.<\/p>\n These 3 things can be purchased on a budget and will have you sounding and looking better than over 85% of the videos out there!<\/p>\n Now let’s talk audio, in order for viewers to even understand what you are saying you will need a decent microphone. I am going to list some options below from least expensive to most expensive.<\/p>\n Logitech Clearchat Headset<\/a> – $29.99 — This is a great beginners mic if you are on a very tight budget. This is a USB Mic<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Blue Snowflake Microphone<\/a> – 39.95 — This is the microphone that I started with and it lasted \u00a0me over a year and had great quality. This is a USB mic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Samson CO1U<\/a>\u00a0– $79.95 — This is a great starter mic that has great sound and will have you sounding terrific at a very affordable price. This is a USB mic.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Audio-Technica ATR2100USB<\/a> – $59.95 — This is both a USB and XLR microphone.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Heil PR-40<\/a> – $327.00 — This is the microphone that I currently use. For under $350.00 it gives you professional studio quality audio and really makes your videos stand out.<\/p>\n * Take note that if you purchase an XLR microphone that you also will need an Audio Interface. An audio interface is what you plug the microphone into, and then plug the Audio Interface into your computer via USB. I recommend the Scarlett 2i2<\/a> BUT any of them will work fine when you are just getting started. <\/span>\n <\/p>\n\n
