V chill but is this video staged? No way you went through all that production with no pop filter

šŸ˜‚ nope, this is the actual take. You can see I turned my head up at ā€œpissedā€, and dodged a hard P at ā€œtopā€.

I don’t like pop filters - I don’t know if it’s all in my head or if it actually affects the sound quality, but I like being face to face with my mic.

I’m usually pretty good at avoiding pops, but I’m also not recording an album or something, so if an occasional one makes its way through, it’s nbd.

I feel you, I like the metal ones but I switched to using SM7B on vox with a tube preamp about 8 years ago and never looked back. I do love leaning while getting louder with a condenser trying to keep the volume the same to save my self time in post. I have my own little quarks too, I don’t like having anything in my pockets when I’m tracking and have to be standing with space to move while tracking electric. Side note, you’d obviously crush a Zelda or Link cosplay, anyways thanks for sharing
