Reminding Guests to Put on Their Windscreen If One Came With Their Microphone

After a recent recording session where the guest had terrible plosives, I told him that he could get a windscreen to put on the mic to reduce the plosives, and he said, “Oh, one of those came in the box with the microphone!”

It was a Samson Q2U microphone, and they send a windscreen with the mic.

He thought the windscreen was only for recording outdoors. So I told him to always use it whenever he is recording.

The lesson for me was: If the guest has nasty plosives because they’re not using a windscreen, ASK them if they have a windscreen 😉
