How do I get rid of plosives EQ?

Apply An Equalization Low Roll-Off

When EQing out plosives, you'll want to use either a low roll-off or just go ahead and slap on a high-pass filter, again depending on the mix. But the goal is the same, which is to reduce very low frequency sounds out of the vocals that don't belong there or muddy up the mix.

Can you fix plosives?

You can remove plosives in post production by attenuating or fully cutting the frequencies they occupy. ... Since plosives are an overloading of a microphone's capsule, due to a excessive air pressure, they typically occupy lower, bass heavy frequencies.

How do you stop plosives?

Plosives can be avoided with good mic technique. The most effective way to avoid P-Pops is to position the mic “off-axis.” That means speak off to the side, at an angle, rather than directly in front of the microphone. Alternately, one can position the mic slightly above the mouth — pointing it down.

How do you soften plosives?

Summary of Techniques:

1. Move the mic farther away from the mouth where the air blast is less powerful and there is less proximity effect.
2. Place the mic out of the direct line of fire for air leaving the mouth, usually above or to the side.
3. Low rolloff before compression.
4. Typical pop stopper: nylon stretched over a ring.
