Microphones

I have the Audio Technica AT-2020 and I love it, it has the odd times where it crackles and makes other weird noises but I'm sure that it is on my end. I also dont have a pop filter for it so that might be the issue as well. But I really enjoy using it. I also own a pair of Astro A40's and the microphone on the headset is surprisingly good. So if there are any people who have those that might be a good option as well.

You're probably distorting the mic if it's directly in front of your mouth as you get a gush of air when speaking, more so with S's, B's, P's and T's.
 
It isnt that at all, I leant my buddy the microphone and it was doing the same thing to him. Its crackling and fuzzing over our entire audio track. Not just with certain letters.
 
I'm using a Rode Procaster that feeds into a Scarlett Focusrite 2i2. i didnt realize at the time though that the focusrite doesnt provide enough gain for the mic itself so i have to use software to boost up the volume. ill be purchasing a cloudlifter cl-1 to remedy that soon.

Check your settings, there is supposed to be a slight hiss in the background as this is noise and is unavoidable with most mics however it's not supposed to crackle and make fuzzing noises.
