Rode NT 2A?

I'm considering buying a condenser microphone, the Rode NT 2A I would like to use it for sing and my question to you is one: which Inter Face would you recommend to me two: Would a normal laptop be suitable for this or rather from Apple and three: What kind of program should I take the recordings for? I would be happy if you would help me. I'm still a beginner myself. I look forward to your answers.

I assume singing should only remain a hobby with you, so I would not necessarily recommend an expensive interface. I left you a link below, from an interface with which a lot of people start and are satisfied with it.

To come to your second question: I strongly believe that a "normal laptop" should be enough to record your vocals.

Have you already taken pictures with a program? At the beginning, I would maybe recommend something free like "Audacity". Otherwise, if you want to invest something in the program, I can personally recommend "Ableton". I have been making music with this program myself for a long time and am very satisfied with it.

Thank you for your answer was very helpful. I also thought about this Inter Face. As much as I have researched on YouTube and other platforms, I'm also of the opinion that this interface would suffice, unfortunately I have no recordings at all because I have to buy everything new, a new laptop and maybe also a new program. I do not know if a Windows 10 Program is enough or an old one

Tommi says a lot of things right. I assume that you don't own an absolutely quiet and reflection-dampened studio. The NT2a is rather counterproductive and not suitable for your purposes. It picks up every reflection, the tiniest background noise.

Based on my own experience (semi-professional singer), I recommend you

A small mixer with a built-in good interface. https://www.thomann.de/...a_ag03.htm. You have a good Hall effect and a compressor in the associated AG-DSP program. Sounds fatter when singing. I myself have the big brother, the AG 06, and I'm very satisfied.

As a microphone, the Rode M2. A good stage condenser microphone. The AKG P5 is cheaper and not bad either.

Do not forget to order good cables and a pop protection and micro stand.

All of this is no more expensive than 2a, which is unsuitable for you.

The program includes a download voucher for Cubase for the mixer. Quite professional. Can you try if you can handle it? The free Audacity is easier to get started.

There are great introductory tutorials in YT at "Audacity Workshop". Look at the BEFORE the first shot.

But I understand I wanted so much a condenser microphone. Yes, I don't have a studio but I wanted to use my room as a studio in (Goosefeet) and you can also use the Inter Face for the Rode ntv2a

You could talk again about the Inter Face. So discuss which would be good and which would not

I still thank you for your answer, I appreciate it

It doesn't matter to a mixer or interface what type of mic you connect. I recommended the Rode M2. This is a condenser microphone. And suitable for your purposes. The Scarlet is a good interface if you have a very good USB in your computer. I had a focus rite of 1Gen and stress because my USB was too bad. With the Yamaha mixer or with a Steinberg interface, you simply connect a power bank or a cell phone charger and it is good. I recommend the mixer because you can make a little reverb on it. It just sounds better.

I can only tell you that here are practically daily users who complain about the high sensitivity of large-diaphragm condenser microphones. There's every noise from the street, the fan of the PC, the pounding of the little sister listening to the recording. And no. You can't do anything about it. They are designed for absolute silence.

Here is a TV gig from me last year. There's full playback. The original recording was made with the AG mixer and a Samson Q5 Micro, similar to the Rode M2
