Piece it together. A lot of starter kits are overpriced for what they are and at least one or two items will be shit quality. Piecing it together also let's you think more about what stuff is best for your recording space and personal habits. A desk mounted mic arm is great, if you're well away from heavy traffic, minor earthquakes, and are already good at not bumping into your desk. If your desk is likely to shake, even just a little, then mounting a wiry aluminum arm on it is going to conduct that interference right into the mic. A sturdy stand with a heavy base might be better, but if you do that you might want a different pop filter attachment or other gear. But the straight fact is that unless you're doing this for work, the best option is to piece it together over time. Start with a mic and something that holds it up and figure out what you need, what you want, and if this is something you like doing before spending loads of money on it Answer from Trevor_Culley on reddit.com
