I think I'm hearing my voice losing its guts and its midrange when I use a pop filter for my condenser mic. With MY voice this is the last thing I need....
I have tested this alot . I don't think I'm imagining it. ! ?
(Could I be ?)
I have an MXL V67 condenser mic. I am satisfied with its sound without a filter.
Is there an alternative recording technique for condenser mic, without a pop filter, that I can try?
I have tried singing off to the side, as suggested in some books I have, and even turning my head off to the side (muy rapido) when using those aspirated consonants. But, can anyone suggest any better alternatives?
Thanks

When you say pop filter Do you mean a foam windscreen? I have never had a problem with the hoop/nylon type pop screens but the foam "sock" type can do things to the sound.
Three other things to try: 1) Raise the mic so that it is higher than your mouth (about nose level). Tilt the mic down a little but try to sing with your mouth pointing straight ahead.
2)Tape a pencil to the barrel of the mic in an up and down position so that the pencil bisects the mic diaphragm. The theory is that the "p"s, "b"s will be disappated (sp?) by the pencil before reaching the diaphragm.
3) Stand a little farther from the mic.
I don't really know if any of these will work in your case. The singers I have worked with over the years have resigned themselves to disciplining themselves more while recording or be willing to do a re-take or a punch in.
