Studio Files: Removing Plosives within a Session

From http://www.thestudiofiles.com. Sometimes a pop filter doesn't do its job, and plosives end up on disk. With a little bit of automated or Audiosuite EQ, you can remove a lot of the offensive part of the pop. (Although this video is done in Pro Tools 8, the concepts apply to any DAW)

What works a bit better is using a gate, set the threshold a bit higher

[studiofiles]

@OfficialStaticTV I think what you mean is set the attack longer... This would work for plosives at the beginnings of words. A higher gate threshold would possibly just mute the track(!)

@studiofiles for me it worked perfectly, it got rid of all those nasty plosives.. that works too tho!

As a new user to PT, thanks for this.

now the plosive sticks out color-wise... should try turning down the volume instead of eq'ing it...

You can call me King Plosive!Pop filters don't work with me.lol

After eqing the offensive freq out, I think if a multi dynamic compressor is added it would reduce even more offensive frequencies. Simply compress freqs 20 to 100. Love your videos. Keep it up.
