Hello fellow harmonicists,

 

I've been farting around with Cakewalk's "Guitar Tracks" program and am
trying to record my submission for Harp-L Volume 6.  However, I have a huge
problem... breath and other mouth/throat noises!  They are creeping into my
recordings and f-ing them up.

 

To those of who who record frequently acoustically (I'm thinking of Tom
Ball, for example), what do you do to avoid this?  I don't hear any of
these noises on commercial recordings.

 

I am using a cheap Radio-Shack computer microphone and I even tried putting
a sock over it to baffle some of the wind noise, to no avail.  What can you
recommend?

 

Thanks everybody,

 

Bill Lifford
