I do documentary style videos on YouTube so all narration/voice-over is recorded separately and in a fairly-basic treated room, so coloration & ambient noise isn't an issue, which is why I use a condenser rather than a dynamic mic.
I currently rock a Maono AU-PM422 (first and only mic I've had so far) and while the quality is actually great for its entry price-point, I'm looking to upgrade to an XLR setup and have set my sights on a Rode NT1 & Rode AI-1 audio interface.
However, one thing that annoys me to no end is spending a good amount of time in Adobe Audition knocking out every little breath and the pops/clicks mouth sounds.
Do the higher quality mics kill these sounds or is it just a fact of life and I need to start drinking a gallon of water two hours before every recording?
EDIT: I have a pop filter that handles plosive sounds just fine, that's why I said 'non-plosive clicks/pops,' it's the mouth/spit sounds I'm having issues with, not plosive pops. Sorry, I should've worded better!
