You can go buy a nice pop filter &#8211; which is basically just nylon stocking on a hoop &#8211; or you can make one yourself.<\/p>\n<p>The difficult part tends to be attaching them to things so they stay in place. This one fits into a standard mic clip, which means no secondary noise transmission, and no futzing around with velco or whatever. Pop it into the clip, position it, and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done some studio experiments with this new design, and it is <em>dramatically<\/em> better than my old version. I threw some intentionally super-severe popping of plosive sounds at it today (P-P-P-POW, P-P-P-POW, really punching those Ps as hard as I could), and where the old filter could only reduce them, this new design stopped three out of four outright. Under realistic conditions, it stopped everything. AND: it&#8217;s otherwise sonically transparent, so far.<\/p>\n<p>So if you know anybody building their own equipment, well, here y&#8217;go, have a design. ^_^<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This post is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/the-studio-buildout-series\/\"><i>The DIY Studio Buildout Series<\/i><\/a>, on building out a home recording studio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a hose clamp left over from another project, so came up with a new DIY pop filter design, and now I&#8217;ve made a howto video for it: For those who don&#8217;t know, sounds like P and B and D are called &#8220;plosives,&#8221; and include a rush forward of air that shows up in [&#038;hellip<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,6,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-notes","category-other-peoples-art","category-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1475"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1475\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10530,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1475\/revisions\/10530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crimeandtheforcesofevil.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
