I want to try to some new, cheaper-end metal pop filters. Any input on these models (or others) is appreciated:

What's the low down on the metal pop filters?

To my knowledge they don't absorb some of the sound like nylon filters. which allow the tones and frequencies to pass, but still blocking plosives and air (pops)

?

Okay, I set up the ol' portable studio today, using a lot of equipment for the first time. It went well, except:

My Sebatron vmp 4000e would not send signal into the DigiDesign. I tried everything and it wouldn't work. I let it warm up for MORE than enough time...anyone else have a similar problem with it?

I just mastered a 5.1 live concert for DVD-V. In the mains I filtered out some low rumble but left the LFE alone as there was content in there that needed to be, using analog outboard gear. When I applied the filters to the mains, I noticed that the sub sounded disconnected from the mains. I kicked in bass management and the low end goes bye bye. Ahh, the filters phase shifted the program.

I recorded a theater event last week from the soundboard and I also recorded a track using a mic in the house to pick up some ambiance and audience reaction etc. Problem is, the seats in the house creak when you shift your weight. You can hear an example creak noise here:

Hello,

I've seen this feature on hi-end mastering consoles (Manley custom, Maselec, old Neumann desks) but is there any stand-alone equipment that can provide it?

thanks

I've heard of people making there own pop filters I believe involving th use of a coat hanger, and panty hoes.

anybody have sugestions
advice, instructions, etc..?

Are hi-pass filters commonly used in mastering?

I ask this because when I put a freq analyzer on many a commercial CD, it sure *looks* like there is.

Man, I just finished a restoration this weekend and I used the TDM SonyOxfordFilters hpf lpf and was it smooth. Very simple. Did exactly what I wanted in sec. excellent plugin !
