Good deal! I waited so long for the 2i2 to go on sale, but I gave up and bought it a few months ago for $169.

I'm new to audio but I've done a little homework so I'll try to provide an answer if I can.

If all you're doing is conference calls to be honest an audio interface with condenser ir dynamic mic might be Overkill In comparison to just grabbing a USB microphone.

These devices are more for vocal and instrument recording or podcasting since they're most useful for turning the analog sound which is your voice or guitar into digital and then throwing that voice/instrument into a Daw. Daw is a digital audio workstation like a logic pro or Ableton Live Studio One Etc which then you can tune the voice/instrument with an EQ and assortment of effects and create a nice mix to send and upload online.

I'd advise grabbing a simple USB microphone. Like a Yeti or a snowball or the AT2020usb unless you plan on upgrading your setup and doing more with it like starting a podcast then you can get this now and save yourself a lot of headache when you plan to upgrade

Hope that helped

edit: reread your post and see that you already picked up the dynamic mic. if you're dead set on keeping that Dynamic mic and/or cant return it then I would just go for the cheapest option which is the um 22 I believe. since you won't be needing too much of a high quality settings like 192 Hz recording or multiple inputs.



you can use the gain knob on the interface to adjust the volume of the microphone. but again if you can return it I just suggest getting a mid-tier USB microphone like the ones I suggested since it'll be a simple Plug and Play setup, you can also adjust gain on them to add volume. plug in wired headphones without an additional 3.5 jack (or use Bluetooth with your computer) and it'll be easier to travel with in case you have to do conference calls in a hotel or on the road

You're going to want to use a cloudlifter or a Soyuz launcher with your SM7b or other dynamic microphone. On my Scarlett 2i2 it sounds great with my SM7B and Soyuz launcher.

I find this not powerful enough with my dynamic mic by itself. It was still not that loud even with the gain all the way up. I paired it with a Fethead and my mic became much louder with very little distortion. Great price on this.

2i2 3rd Gen is showing $115.08 for me. Also shipping only appears to be "free" with their VIP PRO membership ($49.99 per year) unless I'm doing something wrong. Thank you for sharing. I almost bought the Solo from Amazon when it was around $110.

Seems to be about a 30 dollar sale for me.
Calculating the $69 for solo + shipping + taxes vs Amazon $109 + free shipping + taxes (which are more on Amazon for me) = $30 saved going with this deal vs Amazon
same with the 2i2

I've been waiting for a deal a bit better than $30 but, I might just bite the bullet and finally buy it this time around.

Edit: I miscalculated because I had incorrect comparisons. Comparing 2i2 its about $37 bucks saved.

Shipping is not free. I was in the process of purchasing, but the $10 shipping killed it for me.

Same. I was just pointing out shipping wasn't free for me. Super tempting still

Shipping (slow) was free for me for the Solo Studio bundle. There was also a mailing list sign up that came with a free standard shipping code.

Not sure if the code is transferable or reusable (I didn't use it), but here it is:

FREE SHIPPING*
Here's your code: HT31I3K29

I did the same thing, but the Solo went out of stock while I was on the PayPal page. Oh well. I have no use for the other items in the bundle, and no need for the extra input of the 2i2.
Edit: The Solo is back in stock! I was able to grab one.
