I use a cheap pop filter, but I still have plosives. Thinking of getting a Stedman. It's $70. Any thoughts? Thanks.
One thing you can try: position your vocal mic so that it is not pointing directly at your mouth. Placing a mic at the level of your nose or your chin can add just enough of an offset that the plosive is not blasting the mic capsule directly. Add to that a slight angle on the mic and you have another option.
You can also do this type of thing while singing by moving your head position on troublesome words. Think of the game of pool--it's all about angles. If you change the angle just a little bit, that blast from a 'b' or 'p' is not directed into the mic.
...but you have yo remember to do it every time
