Another common question people ask me is should I use the microphones low-pass filter? Filtering introduces artefacts into the audio signal, even at frequencies that are well above the filter's cutoff, so it's best to avoided if possible. However, there are cases when it can be useful, most notably in reducing the level of handling noise or vibrations transmitted through the microphone stand to the body of the microphone. Some filters are designed to compensate for the proximity effect, and while these can be useful, it's probably better to deal with this type of problem by repositioning the microphone while recording or by using a well-specified parametric EQ during mixdown.
Pop filter, should you use them while you are recording? A fine mesh pop shield mounted midway between the microphone and the singer will give you better results, and it should not affect the sound significantly. You can purchase pop shields (which often comes with an attachment to clip it onto the microphone stand) or you can improvise your own using a wooden hoop or wire frame with a piece of nylon stocking material stretched over it.
