Now about 90 per cent through the recording, there's vocals and harmonies left as well as mixdown and general tweaking. Got to buy a pop-shield as my old one is broken. A pop-shield is one of those things that goes over the microphone that looks like a lolly pop, designed to cut breathy pop noises. Years ago you could use a pair of ladies tights stretched over a circular wire, but I don't want to waste a pair of my tights so will buy one.
