levels are hitting maybe -3db tops in the most shrill of moments. should i lower, or is that ok?
any DIY ways to make a pop screen? is pantyhose really the way to go? (ha!).
any ideas under 99 cents (american) will be tested.

It depends what you are going for, I stopped using condensors for vocals awhile ago, because you never use them live.
Lately I've been using an SM57, run thru a guitar amp and guitar reverb pedals etc. Put the amp in the closet to absorb the sound and then stand about a foot away from the mic...it sounds badass, no pop, great proximity effect...sounds like someone just singing in the room...or a live show.
Sorry that doesnt quite answer your question. I guess its just an alternative method.
Pantyhose works though.
