Hi the pop filter does not do anything against the hiss, it is just trying to take away the plosives, like low frequency high power airstream, which couses the membran of the microphone to react in not wished/calculated ways. so with the turbolence theory you are quiet on the right way.

Pop filters are just meant to catch bursts of air, not sound. Plosive vocal sounds, like "p" and "t", tend to send bursts of air into the mic, which cause the same type of distortion you get in windy conditions. Pop filters block this while having almost no effect on the sound, so one does not

Hello, I'm doing a hands clapping experiment and 'd like to use bonk~ to detect the beats. I need bonk~ to be a precise as possible to detect basic ryhtms (quarters, eights, semi-quavers, triolas). The patch that I've made is working but I want to avoid any mistakes, I have set the number of

hi, I'd like to be able to adjust the settings of bonk~ to the (spectral) features of the sound of clapping in your hands but the documentation in bonk-help about the learning mode is a bit incomplete I think. For example if I use the debounce message bonk~ stops outputting any values... The

I've tried clapping into mics and cant get consistent results -- the burst of air goes in all different directions and I could never get a consistent sound into the mic at all. But if you can solve _that_ problem, I think gnd's idea should work OK. cheers Miller On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at

Try a large diaphragm dynamic mic like the Shure SM7 or old Beyer RE20 which take fast transient high dB sounds well. Put a pop filter in front of the mic and either compress the signal for a smoother envelope or gate it just to get the attack of the clap. On Mon, Oct 12, 2009 at 7:57 PM, Miller
