Question about mic pop filter.

[Keregioz]

Ok, this is probably a very stupid question but i'm gonna ask anyway...

I'm attempting to record vocals with a wireless microphone and I'm noticing problems with the singer's "f", "t" and "s" , so i figure I'll be needing a pop filter... right?

So, the question is: I'm sure you're all familiar with the "make-it-yourself" pop filter with panty hose ...does this actually work or is buying a regular pop filter my only choice?

de-esser sounds more like what you need. But you should be using the pop filter too.

The DIY method works jsut as good as teh ones from the shop. It can just look shit

yes, i also use de-esser... my main problem are the f's... you can hear the singer blowing air to the microphone.

...got to ask, why are you using a wireless mic!?

Yeah bend a fucking coat hanger into a loop, go by a pair of pantyhoes and double layer that shit.

Or just buy a pop filter they are cheap. I only spent like $25 on mine.

Yeah, modulation is not your friend when you try get the best signal possible. Good ol copper wire's serving us well since the telegraph.

The reason i use a wireless microphone it's because i don't have any other microphone available... I almost never record vocals in my PC and for the guitars i use podxt. The wireless microphone belongs to the singer, he got it to use it in live shows.
