Are there any tricks people have discovered to help eliminate them in the first place?
Are you using stiff noise reduction? Sometimes that can sound like it’s boosting crisp sounds and making lip tick sounds worse.
Many home microphones have a crisp boost because that sounds more “professional.” It’s actually visible on some sound tests—a little haystack bump.
That’s not normal on better quality microphones, and among other things, that can give you boosted spit sounds.
Another thing you might try is not speaking directly into the microphone. Instead, push it around to the side a little and see if that helps.
If you do this one, make sure your overall volume didn’t change. Lower voice volume can cause other problems.
