The invention of computers has made recording faster and with less effort. You may actually sing, attend video conferences, create tutorial videos and do a lot more. But, you need more than just an expensive PC in recording videos, songs or tutorials. You also need a mic and a high quality one at that. In the past, high quality microphones cost a fortune. Yet today, technology has made high-tech microphones at lesser prices. Even if most of these latest microphones can produce great sound without even trying too much, there are several things you can do in order to enhancee your recording no matter the cost or kind of mic.
A simple method to improve the sound obtained by a mic is with the help of a pop filter. This is an accessory that is used to produce clear vocal tracks by cleaning up plosives or pops, which are generated by speaking words beginning with P, B or T. They can also help protect the microphone from spittle and so it helps in lengthening its life span. If a vocalist gets very near the mic and creates a problem with sibilance, this problem can be remedied with pop shields, too. The microphone pop can keep a person at a certain distance so that the sounds obtained from the mic are only the sounds the audience want to hear.
Microphone pop filters can also serve as wind screens that minimize the repulsive hissing sounds so it allows you to save more effort and time editing your recording. A pop filter can be very cheap but one should be very meticulous in choosing one with high quality. Even if it can bring about a great deal of difference to your recorded tracks, it's not a magical tool on its own. Yes, it will disintegrate blasts of air due to pops but it can't perform if not used properly. In order to get the best outcome, you need a little technical skill and the ear for the type of sound you want to hear.
