Excellent information. I will have to double check my setup. I have a feeling I may need to move my pop-filter a little bit further away. Do you have any suggestions for lip smacking? I have a client that does that a lot and I occasionally do it myself.
Some people are more prone to lip smacks than others. However, what you eat or drink before a recording session can accentuate the effect. You want to avoid things that are likely to make the mouth "sticky". For instance, avoid things like chocolate and milky drinks (including milk in tea and coffee). I think the fats in the product are partly to blame. Sipping plain water helps in my case. The biggest issue these days is that even home audio recordings have effectively become "high resolution", where everything is picked up and recorded. Forty years ago when I started working in broadcast radio, lip smacks and vocal clicks were far less noticeable, probably because we were recording on analog 1/4 inch tape. When digital recording took over, all those imperfections suddenly became apparent.
Each of these videos so rich and full of good info. Thank you kindly.
