Microphone Quality Boost (The Microphone 'Cover')

[CYANzXD11]

that women sock is the closest thing you`ll get to a women

[micmoable]

good idea---we always used to use a piece of panty hose stretched over a piece of circular shaped stiff wire--it was held a couple inches from mike and worked great--no dang p popping going on--ha ha

[ps3Killingspree97]

just like taking a condom on a dick

[RPReality]

dirt minded much?

[SNiPERFECTiON69]

Nice video thanks really good idea :)

[modernops101]

Your ughy as heck lmao

[modernops101]

Looks like when you make the stocking role up it looked like...

[Vicious713]

Goddamn girlfriend, my house has zero wire coat hangers cause they mess up clothes she says >:O

[HDIsTheWayToWatch]

dude this vid sucks lmao

[oTH3ZOMBIESo]

I think this is a joke, not the video, the thing in it.

[crookanything93]

what the fuck

[DeadlyMixKrew]

lol. I cant even remember.

[JeremyB796]

2:38 text message beep

[JeremyAstrada]

basically you made a shitty puff stopper, cool.

[babylyonhang08]

thats the ghetto way to do it =P moo! its pretty cool

[8bennugent]

u remind me of my science teacher

[Mik3llis]

are u a girl or a boy?

[hackmaster2012]

geek man your geek go get a girlfriend k no offence

[Mincecraft]

@hackmaster2012 You're like 12 bro that's not very nice, it's not even a guy...

You could just buy a pop shield from a music shop - any good recording studio uses them to reduce breathing and the hissing from vocalists =P They're pretty cheap too, only about 10 GBP

[DeadlyMixKrew]

@Mincecraft $20-$40. I have 3 professional pop-stoppers and still go back to the old wire hanger & nylon trick after clients are comfortable with the quality of the studio

[Mincecraft]

@DeadlyMixKrew I can't tell if you're trying to correct me orrrr...

[MrSamCraft]

girl or a boy....

[ziptieTV]

Moo Moo said the brown cow.

ROFL.

[dupster09]

LESS TALK MORE SHOWING! THIS WAS STUPID!

[HelenaGalatisMusic]

29 people actually tried

[trixter217]

i know this might come off as very offensive and mean, but please i mean well so don't take this as an insult. are you a girl or boy? cuz my monitor is 13 years old and sucks!!! so please don't take this the wrong way. just blame it on my monitor. it has dead contrast and color controls. :)

[billdowy]

Home-Made POP-Blocker { Thats Dope } for me its words with the Letter ''P'' in it that mess my mic up... Good DIY anyways....

[97EJM]

i think i saw you on true life "im a transgender".....

[12345678983583]

good job

[iExD]

COOL! Thanks. I also have the exact same microphone! awesome..

[YoungMoneyFlyBoizTV]

Look like Rick from Degrassi.

[MrGamingMan]

u guys r assholes, she's helping you save money. If you want be an asshole, why are u watching the vid? BTW nice vid :) Good JOB!

[Paone06]

what a mook, get a life and go buy a filter

[zirokiller00]

dude u waste 2 min of my life. u want me to put that shit around my studio microphone? when i saw the dam pantie hose i though u were a fucking crazy

[KappaMusic]

@zirokiller00 Lmao, I know what you mean, Sounds crazy to wrap panty hose around a microphone, Right ? . but it actually works, except this kid is a fucking goofball, he is making everything complicated because there are MUCH better ways of making these things.

[nfarnham2008]

Cool, good job

[Bradhinio]

thats the gayest thing ive ever seen

[SMravage]

Awesome vid, and a creative solution! Good work.

[Sk8rplanB1]

POP filter

[screamingismyair]

basically u made a pop filter... will they work for built in mics

[GodzGamerz]

That's really smart

[lewburger]

awwwww... the microphone has a condom!

[SuBurbaNmuzic]

ghetto!

[TheElectret]

this sound quality is poor and it not my KRK's

[McCaffx1]

What A GEEK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DCrfc1]

NERD

[sharky8501]

THE cover looks like preservetiv :D

[TheSupersurgical]

You Rock

[TheSupersurgical]

@TheSupersurgical had to help someone with audio issues and I showed them this. It worked. Then I watched some of your other vids and rediscovered angel13. I clearly recall that whole censorship deal.

[Dukke214]

why dont u use a flavored condom it'd be durable and tasty :D

[VAStudi0z]

nice kid

[HakerzTM]

u r soo ghettto

[hocksterr]

Why did you have women socks? ;)

[oiVeNomzx]

u look like that sock

[YungSteveTv]

is that a girl or a boy

[racerboi3x]

I have the same mic. You got it from Wal-Mart right? lol I use my Playstation Eye's microphones. The PS3 Eye only costs $30 and it has that filter built in with 4 Microphones. Its a great investment for a super cheap price.

[10mfs]

are you girl or boy?

[Kandy25Bubbles]

Thats the same mic, i am using and having troubles with, like it would be quiet..and then it wud get tremendously loud..and it makes me sound...unlike me...so if you would know how to fix any of that..that would be great! plz reply!!

[casanovaslim33]

nice idea and tnx for thinking about this . i m a singer and i have 3 album on the market im working on a huge new album rnb style, u make me remember my first mic .

[krasat]

the sock looks like a condom

[porkynix]

LOL. Same sound.

[lebnen143]

omg how cheap is those people go buy god mic sheap bastards omgggg thats one poor women

[dreyz2001]

wow,,, it looked like it was made by a kid.... hahaha , sorry

[heartstorm8]

lol good try but you could just use a speeker cage

[MSyr15]

hahah your s makes the sound all distorted even in the vid

[keefreef2]

it definitely works if you're a rapper and have a 20 dollar mic.

[DJmunkiez]

loal it hardly fixed anything

[bosspersonfighter]

I have a very simple solution to poor microphone quality.If you own an xbox360, you can take off the foam from the microphone that comes with the console and put it on your microphone from your headset(Or whatever you are using).This protects it from hard "P" or "F" sounds and wind, however, it does not protect from static.Sometimes you just have to beat your microphone around a bit to get the static to cease but that may just break it.I suggest getting a Logitech microphone to stop the static.

[hyperactivecalvino]

Thank you alot!

[coasterman16]

Your sound quality and "s" sounds are still horrible.

[ballanumber1]

or buy a pop filter for 5 BUKS!!!

[AlexandarProdaction]

pop filte ir is 25 buks

[blaz3y09]

lol @ the guy who said you name is fucking moo roflmao

[michaeloflaherty]

I have a nonstop bleep on my mic any ideas, could it be the sound of my pcs cpu fan in the background? My mic is attached to my usb webcam which is a Nisis DVCam 2 with built in microphone

[meamverysmart]

Your name is fucking moo?

[ElusiveHermit]

fuck you. I used this advice.

[remote44]

waaaaay too in depth... man.. its just a wind filter.. ffs we see news reporters with the foam on the end of a stick and it works fine... lol

[austynfuller]

can it record like rockband vids good? like get clear music? instead if BLEEHHHHHH the whole time?

[dragonofblade]

you talk to mutch =-.-

[freedom0f5peech]

Haha! That's cool! I have ideas how to make it better though.

[metalzyer]

sounds like a guy and looks alike a girl no offense

[northoltkid]

lol ty

[JackSmith07]

at 3:20 why were you ashamed to say its like putting a balloon over a banana?

[thisisjosh]

hahahhahahahhah

[DigitalPraise7]

Apparently it is a girl. Check out the vid called:

moo updates from TAM6

[SgtMaj0r]

tell me... do u feel like a COMPLETE failure when u spend ur days sitting at ur computer talking to a sock? ... no really im interested

[creative123456789cor]

its the same shit!.....

[mattgoddard]

it's just a pop shield, it helps stop the mic picking up pluratives, or sharp 'P' sounds

[nickanvil13]

gay

[KingPhotoshop]

Actually this is pretty much what pro's use...

[byxlalo]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[MCRmauricio]

"I taped them with tape"

Nice line xD

[MCRmauricio]

You put a condom over your mic for better quality?

Neat.

[MallOw1337]

Are you a dude or chick?

[pebbles987]

im assuming its a girl

[RedEggsCereal]

@pebbles987 nope its a man

[whatthebollocks]

@pebbles987 dude i thought it was a man. *tremble shake*

[Octamed]

stick your mug on camera

[kashpc]

I can barely notice the fucking difference (or I can´t tell the difference barely fucking)

[irockvdo]

hey dude you like to hear yourself talk or something because you say alot of words but you have no idea of what you are saying. the pair of you mom's pantyhose and the hanging devise you made are put together to form a windsreen or wind sock, which will help w/ your "P" pops. The "S" problem is called sibilance, when you havethat prob. you need to use a different mic, maybe a condencer. get some audio books or something. you would make youself sound more competent. You're Welcome.

[dewdropper]

Amen...

That mic needs much more of a gap between the pop shield and the diaphragm.

Also, that looks an awful lot like a shotgun or a "spot", neither would be great for vocals.

Like irockvdo says, a condenser would be much more beneficial, and definitely in mono, there are many cheap condensers from people like Sony.

[rheung3]

Wonderful! Thx for sharing!

[thisblender]

i miss your videos!!

[gizmoadria]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing!

[MCRmauricio]

LOL

[lawancha]

thnx awesome tutorial

[OghamTheBold]

I was actually searching for 'rubber skeleton' (don't ask) and was somehow lured here

So on a different tack - I shoved my mic in a giant piece of sponge - had same effect

[mooeypoo]

I found that this muffled the sound too much.. I build this contraption to stop hissing but not deteriorate the sound..

Is it working well with the sponge?

[DeadlyMixKrew]

@mooeypoo Switch to pantyhose. This is the same concept of what recording studios have been doing since the beginning of time. Pantyhose work best and that'll solve the "muffle" problem. Also, you can rig it to screen between you and the mic without covering the mic if you prefer (which will allow the mic to pick up ambience in the room filling the audio back up with a fuller sound

[whatthebollocks]

@OghamTheBold why did you search "rubber skeleton"? lol ima search that now :D

[OghamTheBold]

I was actually searching for 'rubber skeleton' (don't ask) and was somehow lured here

But on a different tack - I just shoved my mic in a giant block of sponge - had the same effect

[amerklinger]

your a fugin genius, how bout a date

[sledporn155]

i am ignorant and proud of it and have u ever heard of slang i write like that because im to fucking lazy i bet u had to google half those words to sound smart y do u care about my cooments to him its not linke im insulting you i.. but i could.. and yes i no there no proper setences so dont be like haha u cant spell or any of that shit cuz i dont really give a fuck

[k49ktn4837hym]

Your so smart

[OddityX]

WtF O_o

[wiredshut]

your soo cute !! x

[sibzjabroni]

GO SHOOT A DEER

[emandjel]

awesome =] its a Ghetto NT1 microphone eheheeh cool money saver hehehe

[GetterRoboG]

whatika?

[sledporn155]

ya ur definatly a nerd i bet u dont have any friends

[sledporn155]

man b4 u explain to build it learn the name of the device its called a spit catcher u dumb ass

[mooeypoo]

Why? I don't care if it exists, I care for a solution that I don't need to pay for.

You're welcome.

[imafuckinassholbitch]

@sledporn155 Its called a pop filter you fuckin moron, if your gonna bitch at someone for not knowing the name, you should know it yourself. Dumbass

[solidbeliefs]

@sledporn155 Your a dumbahh, Listen to how confident you sound and realize how rude are. First off a spit catcher isn't the technically name for it. Secondly, the video was ment to be informational so respect their time used informing others. It is technicaly a microphone pop filter.

[MMIQ]

TROLL!!

[dicemuzic]

wtf is this buy a pop filter

[mooeypoo]

the entire point is to save money and have fun building something yourself.

duh.

[mefairo]

its not a mic booster man,its a pop filter and pop filters to lower the S,P,K alphabets sound during recording...

so wrong title...

[otwan]

Hey, nice mod!

[Brianj1234]

It looks intelligently designed. :D Thanks Moo :)

[Astrosteed]

You don't know how much it made me smile to see some shit bent up out of coat hangers. Oh, the things I've made with bent up coathangers. Much like duct tape, you can make a cheap version of almost anything :)

[USAOwnz]

Just in case you don't know, it's a Pop filter.

[xplosive58]

aww mooey you made a condom joke before I could :(

[virgiliodilo]

Nice interesting post! But, have you seen what happens if you put diamonds in a blender? Check it out blend.lostfrog 'dot' com

[mooeypoo]

Is this a double-post on purpose or did we just expose your evil twin?

[brooklyndiner]

women's sock? did you have to borrow it?

[mooeypoo]

Actually I did. I like mine bare.

[Aprilshowersss]

I have the same problem. I might attempt it. hehe

[999bob666]

Have you tried a sponge? ... sculpting it into a roundishly clownnoselike ball (or leaving it boxy), cutting into the center, and putting it over the top of the stick mic. Might be a lot faster to make. It looks like that is what the pro mics use. Probably very effective in smothering any air movement from Ps and breathing. (I might try this next opportune time; curious about the result.)

[mooeypoo]

ACTUALLY, I did.. I may have done it wrong, but it seemed to make my voice to sound a bit "distant".. and the fact that it touched the mic itself caused it to make a few noises, which.. is.. kinda.. against what i want :P I am not sure if it's just the way I did it or if this is the way it is always, you're wlecome to try and inform us :D

[ClosetedAtheist]

What a brilliant idea!

[Grimli]

I never had a problem heaing what you say, understanding the content can at times be a challenge, but not the enunciation.

[RamyLevi]

"I don't want to say like what" LOL

[otherwisesaid]

"...but u can imagine." lol

[mooeypoo]

well I'm sure you can :P I almost changed the name of this vid to include what I didn't say on it :P but I figured it may cause my entire repertoire to spin around sex (god forbid! <shriek!!>) specifically after my tomato-mass-weight video. Ahem. You guys will have to just use your imagination this time ;)

[Billy7766]

Good tip.

[pdoeman]

Have you filed a patent on that yet? :D

I'm fresh out of women's tights, I have my old wollen winter stockings, will they do?

Does your invention work?

[mooeypoo]

It does, and no, it's not my patent, it's alien8ed's idea. But it works like a charm!

..And I don't think anyone would judge you on the type of stocking you use, darling ;)

[Octamed]

weird, I was seconds away from suggesting the exact same thing after watching your (super terrific) astronomy lecture. The sounds are 'plosives' for P sounds and 'sibiance' sounds for S sounds.. of course :)

I'd be happy to fix your astronomy vid audio, unfortunately I don't think you can reupload over the top of the same vid though?

[mooeypoo]

nah, sadly I can't. But at least now the NEXT vids will be good :D
