Duz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Pop filters are to stop the 'pop' effect you get by shooting air out of your mouth at high velocity into the mic (specifically on 'p', 't' and 's' sounds). A good pop filter won't change the background noise at all, so this isn't what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 So it would be worth getting to make my speech sound less retarted, but not much/not at all with noises going on in the background.cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you have a studio condenser microphone it's not really going to help with background noise as they are made to pick up ever single soundit can hear, for instance I've recorded with mine only to find you can hear a dog barking in the background down the street A pop filter is there to do basically what it's name says, stops the pops of your P's, and T's, cuts back the hisses of your S's slot as well As for a live microphone I think it could cut out some background noise as they are very directional from the middle of the mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurk6r Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 If you want to get rid of background noises you need to get a shotgun mic like this - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Olympus-ME-3 ... 651wt_1399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJFluffy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 up until Saturday I never needed a pop filter but I will be getting some soon as people who are drunk think it's "Cool" to breath into the microphone at 100km/h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
