      @@5usp3c7 well you're wrong
      The purpose of a shock mount is not to get vibrations to travel up to the mic the vibrations that come from a mouse, keyboard, anything moving on the desk or the desk itself if you shake it because the vibrations will travel up the arm and into the mics diaphragm but the shock mount prevents the vibrations from reaching the diaphragm to make a sound,
      If he moves the mic stand the mic will obviously pick up the sound because its right next to the mic itself so it's a sound not a vibration if it was a vibration the mic wouldn't pick it up if it was a sound it would which it did

    I know you're probably not reading comments on this anymore, but one thing for some people to keep in mind with a Stedman mesh filter (I have one), is that if you project a lot from your diaphragm, the placement of the filter matters a lot more than a nylon one, because the air from your mouth passing through the mesh can sometimes create a grating whistling noise. Just something to keep in mind, and something I wish I had known when I bought mine.

    A fun tidbit: I went to a seminar on recording and the guy running the Studio said they had a guy in who kept waving his hand between him in the microphone every time he did Ps and Qs. apparently this older guy was trained heavily to do this back in the era when they didn't have the capability of fixing it in post, so they ended up using no Dsing and no compressors as it was just clean signal from the beginning. Hopefully I'm remembering all that correct.

    Ten years ago, I made my own pop filter with two nylon stockings stretched over a looped wire hanger. I liked it so much, I made another with lamp wire (more flexible) and a slaughtered lid from a container of hot chocolate (kept the mesh 1/4 inch apart). Seems to do the job. Especially when I have someone else record.

  • @MichaelJ023

    Love these videos. This reminds me of when I started in radio I was taught the pencil technique when recording VO and spots. Over the next year I learned the technique where I no longer needed any pop filter/ windscreen by learning not to make any plosives. It was all due to the station manager that insisted that everyone learn to speak properly into the mic.

  • @gaelicpros

  • @sea-ferring
    @sea-ferring 6 років тому +6

    Part of the reason aiming the microphone down works is because plosives tend to be directed by your lips in a downward direction. Having a mic directed from above is always superior in terms of audio, but is not always aesthetically pleasing in a live setting as it hides the face of the performer more. I always point people to live images of Lemmy from Motorhead or Neko Case - they both address the mic from below and it works beautifully. I explain the concept as speaking or singing across the microphone. Additionally you limit the proximity effect with this technique - unless you are specifically using proximity for a vocal effect, it is an unwanted sound.

    I use a bamboo sock. It works very well. Plosives are well controlled and it costs almost nothing. If it gets dirty, I just throw it out and get another one from my huge supply of bamboo socks. I highly recommend bamboo socks if you wear socks and they make great pop filters. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, prevents sweaty feet and explosive plosives!

    disposable face masks make pretty good pop filters. Depending on the quality it won't noticeably muffle your voice, and you can p as hard as you can and it won't 'plode'. As opposed to any pop filter that will plode if you p really hard into it, as you said.

    I appreciate the waveform being displayed, since I watched this on-the-go with my S-10+, which does a pretty good job of filtering plosives. It allowed me to SEE what I could not hear.

    Comparing the nylon filter to the metal one gave some surprising results. The sound passing through the nylon filter sounded fatter as if it was coming from a Hi-Fi stereo system with lots of bass response, while the sound passing through the metal filter was thinner and less distorted, giving more of a vintage sound to me. Both are actually useful in certain situations, depending on the effect that you want.
