Pop Filters

​

Something to be aware of is Sibilance and Plosives.  That is words that contain hard S’s.  Like when I Say I’m overemphaSizing the sibilance right now.” 

​

Plosives on the other hand are the airburst P, T, K and B, D, G causing a distortion.

​

We can help cut down on the both of these with a pop filter. Pop filters usually connect to your mic stand and are usually made of fabric or metal. 

​

Some voices naturally have more sibilance and/plosives than others and some mics pick up the amount of Sibilance differently depending on it’s frequency response. 

​

The last effort we can do is to record slightly off axis.  When recording we want to do everything we can to get the best sound possible.
