Pop Filter

Maybe this is common knowledge for musicians, but I found out you can make a kick ass pop filter by using one of those wooden "crochet or needlework????" circles and wrapping pantyhose over it. place in front of your mic, and it works great.

hmm i dont know what you mean by "wooden crochet or needlework" but that sounds like a great idea, and since im in the market for a mic right now, this may be something that I could use..

Mine came with a foam cover to go over the whole mic. It doesn't take any of the sound away, and keeps spit from damaging it. It costs 300 bucks, so I better not screw it up, lol.

It's just a round wooden circle that old ladies use to knit with or something like that.

Or you can just pull the pantyhose over your head and rob guitar center.

His mic cost 300, not the windscreen. the windscreens only cost like 15 bucks
