Hey man, did you also buy an adapter for the mic cause it has no jack?
deepstrasz

Ok, so I did put the mic but I can't get it to record anything.

The lights don't show up in the two ports. What am I doing wrong?

Sorry that I bother you with this stuff :D
So, I got the mic working but can't get the headphones to work in the Focusirite device.

You installed the drivers, right? Just choose the Focusrite scarlett 2i2 as input driver. Then the mic should work as it has to.

Did you buy the original headphones? If yes, you'll have to connect it to one of the stereos coming out from the back of the 2i2 device. There are 2 (left and right) so youll hear only one side, unless you buy a splitter/connector cable

Hmm, but on the net I see people using the slots in the back for the monitors and the one in the front on the left (just left) of the big monitor knob/volume button. There's even a drawing/sign of headphones there and I hear nothing when I plug them there. They work on my PC though.
How do I record stereo, I mean without just having the sound only on the left or right depending where I plug the mic?
NightStalker
NightStalker
It records as stereo, as far as i have recorded they were all stereo.

I should check the device before saying anything tbh :D ill be back tonight. Ill hop into the plane 12hours later and ill write a reply in the morning

Wait, you have a guitar and you record your voice? Are you a singer, voice actor?
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Hear that @NightStalker, he asked you if you were a singer, voice actor?
NightStalker
NightStalker
Well, I rap sometimes :D I like voice acting too but I'm not very good at it.

Btw, deepy, I plug my headphones to the back part into one of the output parts. I dont use that headphones plugin in the front side.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Hmm, hey, Nightey, what about recording stereo (for both sides, left and right)?
NightStalker
NightStalker
recording is done in stereo anyways, I didn't have to do anything extra for that.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Hmm, alright, must be Audacity then.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
Hey hey, how do you deal with background noise? Sometimes, it gets in there while I record my guitar, sometimes it doesn't... What the heck...
NightStalker
NightStalker
If youRe using the quality mic, just keeping it in some place quiet should be enough. If your PC is making noise, don't let it stay on the same table/desk, avoid vibration.
deepstrasz
deepstrasz
My PC is down and I keep the mic on the table :D as I have yet to get a support for it. It's somewhat close to the PC but higher than it and a bit to the left.
NightStalker
NightStalker
I dont know I gotta see your setting :D

If it is feedback get out of the speakers direction, if the background noise is just plain air and stuff, close the windows, keep the room excluded from the outside, you want it to hear only your voice or guitar in this case :D

I got that 2i2 with the Scarlett mic.
Well, I shut the window and door but sounds can still be heard mostly from the PC. The noise I'm referring to is, yeah, some sort of wind. Well, it's my room, not a studio :D.
