Music Home Production beginner interface & Co?

I have the Tascam TM-80 condensatot Microphone.

And now look for a cheap interface.

The mic. Has a 48v phantom power.

I read on the internet that the Behringer XENYX 302USB
in the price-performance ratio should be quite good but it has no 48v phantom power what supposedly would not be so bad, right?

Basically, I want to make music, that means rap and I'm a complete beginner.

Can you recommend Cheap Interfaces?

The other question is: I only have a laptop do I need an external sound card or an interface?

ps

The interface is enough

I'm on my own. That's okay.

ps

If I may give you another tip, exchange the Tascam for one

https://www.thomann.de/..._sc450.htm

In the price range around lengths better suited for rap.

So the phantom power of the Behringer 302 is not enough for my mic. To get started?

ps

Yes, the 302 has phantom power

Stay away from little Behringer blenders! I own a 1202 USB for Live and it is not good for recordening!

If mixer then a Yamaga AG03, which has an interface built-in

An interface is enough for you, however, completely

If it has to be cheap:

Of course, with cheap microphones and interfaces correspondingly cheap parts are installed. But I think that should be enough for a start. Slight noise will still be there. Not for nothing cost decent good interface for 130 euro (Steinberg UR22 or Focusrite Scarlet 2i2) Upwards, there are almost no limits.

Whether the microphone is really great for rap? Then it should be completely quiet and the walls dampened at home. This kind of microphone really takes on every pup. Do not forget to order pop killer and tripod.

No is not enough and it is rustling! And leave the sc 450 where it is. Both are equally sensitive to normal rooms. Where I would rather take a tascam micro… If you do not care about the quality then you will also need a phantom power provider for 15 E. Sounds not as great as an interface

Yes sure 18 volts has the 302th Normal microphones require 48 volts. Maybe it works with less than 48 volts, but rushes. One hundred times here answers this problem. Go to the search function.

So you have a "Condensatot Microphone", that sounds life threatening. You mean a condenser microphone. The Tascam TM-80 does not have phantom power, but it needs tension for it to work.

The TM-80 is an electret microphone and does not necessarily require + 48V for operation. Since the microphone capsule does not have to be supplied with voltage, but only the impedance converter and to be enough, according to Tascam already 9 volts.

In your case, the statement is true that the TM-80 can be operated on the Behringer 302USB and that "would not be so bad". However, the desk is not recommended. The USB feature leaves a lot to be desired. The Behringer desk does not have a good price-performance ratio - you just can't get another product with this equipment if you want to spend only 39 euro.

If it should be quite cheap, the Behringer UMC22 would probably be the better choice. So you get the microphone signal better in your computer than with the Behringer 302USB. If you can spend a little more money would be a device like the Steinberg UR12 better.

The USB audio interface is an external sound card.

The Tascam TM-80 is not a "normal micro". It is not a 'real' condenser microphone but an electret microphone and, according to Tascam, that also comes with 9Volt voltage. But that does not change the fact that the Behringer 302USB is not a good device.

Felix Klostermann has certified the 302USB 15 volts. https://www.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/behringer-xenyx-302-usb.html

Well then, let's buy one and measure it:-) Wink ;-) Who should you believe?

Thank you very much for the answer!

Achso because on the packaging of the TM-80 is + 48volt phantom power.

But I'll take a look at the suggested products.

I took the information from the Tascam website: https://www.tascam.eu/de/tm-80.html

I think I will order the umc22 should be enough for the beginning
