Crappy Microphone - Getting rid of distortion
Posted on: 24.10.2011 by Fredda Klarman
I have a really, really shitty microphone that I use to record myself every once in a while for a track. It's very sensitive to breathing/wind, etc... I was just wondering if there is anything that I could do in production to get rid of that annoying windy sound that appears. I've bugged around with filters and what not, but I can't seem to cover it up. Also, is there a technical term for this sound?

If you don't want to afford a pop filter, you can make one out of panty hose and a wire coat hanger.

Or you can hold a pencil b/t your mouth and the diaphragm

When singing into a microphone your meant to sing 'over' (or under depending on the setup) the microphone so it doesn't receive that gush of air but still picks up your voice.

I found a tutorial on making a 10$ pop filter so I'll prolly give that a whirl toevening and see how it goes. Once again, thank you for the troll free assistance ^.^

It's called Pop. It's not a coincidence why studio use pop filter in between while recording.

Once recorded... I don't know any canned solution if any. Sometimes: Shit in = Shit out
