Hi there, SmokeyDolphin reporting in.
I'm looking for some advice that can help me to come to a decision quickly, so that I can get to fiddling with hardware, and learning some basics to sound recording.
Objective:
Good sounding (clear, slightly warm) binaural setup for a beginner at a reasonable price-point (less than $1K).
Question:
What audio interface and microphones would you recommend? I was thinking of the Scarlett 2i2, though I don't have any idea for the microphones.
Regarding Binaural: I am a bit of a head-fi/hi-fi guy, and I really appreciate dynamic binaural recordings. It may not make a huge difference for a sit-and-talk YT channel, but I think the extra volume of information that comes from room reflections, ambience and so forth does a lot to develop immersion in a recording, however great or small.

My start-up was recently selected to compete in a leading Accelerator, commencing next month. I would like to document and potentially publish the journey to YouTube when the program concludes. (By 'document', I mean that I would like to sit in-front of a camera and mic for a 20-30 minutes a week and talk. I will also experiment with some other content creation, such as a cooking YT channel, and if I have the time, a gaming channel for a long-running strategy game that I am pretty good at (top 30/40 million+ players).
