[HELP] Pop filter

[Fl Brony]

So I got a blue snowball for christmas but I need a pop filter but I don't know what pop filters would work with it so.......any help?

Any will work at all. All a pop filter is a bit of air-catching material. Find one that will clamp to your mic stand, or one with its own stand you can put in front of the mic, and you're good.

I've recently made a pop filter by taking the top couple inches of an oatmeal box, stretching some used pantyhose over it, and then keeping it in place with rubber bands and staples. Before I stretched the pantyhose over it, I cut 2 small holes in the cardboard to stick a hanger through so I can bend it around things.



Although it isn't the prettiest thing, it works super well - and for $0 (if you already have the materials) it's better than paying 60$ for a professional thingy.

Also I don't even have a vocal mic, it's a field recorder, lol.

I've used a sock before. I wasn't clean...

I've heard that tissue works well

I got a ~$20 one for Christmas which is working nicely, but before that, I used to remove the front plate from my CD player's speakers, which have a layer of similar material over them, hold it up to my mouth, and sing through it into my Snowball. It worked just fine! If you have similar speakers, give it a whirl. Of course, sometimes just standing back from the mic can be effective.

Also, hot damn, Senn, that is awesome.

As I am literally the most poor musician ever, I don't actually have an actual good microphone. What I did is I bought some pantyhose, rubber-banded it over a masking-tape roll, and then duct-taped that to a Rock Band USB mic.

It actually works ridiculously well considering the entire thing didn't even cost a full dollar.

Suprisingly, I havnt had to get a pop filter for my blue snowball... Yet. But really, all you need to make one is a thin, breathable material and something to hold it in place.

Well, if you don't mind looking like you're dirt poor, here is a picture of what I made. All you need is some panty-hose or T-shirt material, a roll of masking tape, and two markers/pencils.
