ryanwilliams	Date: October 16, 2004 @ 1:32 PM What kinda mic do you use? i don't have one of those pop filter things. I use a condenser microphone for vocals, and I found that either of these two options work just great. 1. Take a wire hanger and bend it into the shape of a pop filter. Get yourself either a stocking, or a sock and stretch it over that bad boy. Presto! Pop filter. 2. get yourself a sock. Pull it down over the microphone and doublt or triple it over a few times, to thicken it around the part that your stop-plosive sounds are being directed at. This also works quite nicely. (stop-plosive sounds = P's B's C's, shit like that)
DevonPowell	Date: October 16, 2004 @ 2:38 PM I 2nd the wire hangar/pantyhose suggestion. Works great. Mic control is also a good option...turn your head to the side when you're busting out with those "stop-posive" (hehe Ryan) sounds and such...

shadowself	Date: December 21, 2004 @ 7:09 PM Another crazy thing that works. Hold a pencil in front of the mic. My engineering teacher showed me this gem, and it does the trick in a pinch. And I also agree with the pantyhose/wire hanger idea. Socks are not as good, as they can muffle some of the highs.

sinai	Date: December 21, 2004 @ 7:23 PM have a porno playing on a television off to the side, your head will be turned that direction and won't be straight into the mic, that helps...
