Not counting the roughly $650 my noisy neighbors cost me in soundproofing, the studio's audio components set me back a little over $500. Final tallyĪlthough this setup provides a substantially improved audio experience, it wasn't that expensive. The 2i2 Monitor output also drives either the green M&M earbuds or the full headphone cans so I can hear both the full mix and guest, allowing me to have a nice dialog without any sound delay. The 2i2 USB output becomes input for Boinx TV (select 2i2 driver as sound input). This is the combined, final-quality mix I want to record.

However, I wanted to have some way of having a monitor so I could hear other participants when I was in a video call, and I didn't want the ear piece to be visible. That's because I can hear the other participants very clearly and I don't really care what they look like on my head. When I'm doing audio-only, particularly the webcasts, I use the cans. The earbuds are green M&M earbuds and I bought them for a very specific purpose: green screen. The headphones were cans I had sitting around and they are of reasonable quality. Big cans for audio-only events, green buds for video green screenĭepending on what kind of event I'm doing, I'll either use the headphones or earbuds as monitors.
