I think he's talking about a mic software modeling program.

Yes thats what i am talking about. Antares Mic Modeling program. Has anyone else used it..
 
Shakes I have used it a little bit. Haven't experimented with it too much. Seems pretty good though. I used it on the most recent song I recorded, where I used it on an acoustic guitar part.

I recorded the part with a Rode NT2 through a Joe Meek VC3. It still sounded a little harsh on the high end to me. I ended up running it through the Mic Modeler and simulated a Neumann U47, and it seemed to really warm up the sound and take the edge off of it.

Anyone is curious, you can check it out here:

The song is "Half a Song."

Like I said, I haven't used it much more. That was my first experiment with it, but I was happy.

You called?

I haven't used any mic modeling units. I have my doubts about it; in the sense that even the same "microphone modeler" program will sound completely different, largely depending on your real microphone, preamp, media, cable, etc.

Which understand, I don't think that is a bad thing if you look at it more like as an effect; which can be anything from eq, compression, enhancers, simluators, etc.
 
R.E., is a mic-modeler supposed to imitate/copy the sound,frequency response,tonality etc of any particular mic it's programmed for? Sounds something like
buying a imitation Strat instead of the real 1. Or am I wrong?
 
You got it!!!

Which mic do you feel like singing through today?
 
"Which understand, I don't think that is a bad thing if you look at it more like as an effect; which can be anything from eq, compression, enhancers, simluators, etc."

I think that's pretty much it. It won't turn your sm-58 into a Neumann or my NT2 into a Blueberry. But, the way I think about it is that it's similar to, say, the POD guitar recording unit. No, the POD won't totally sound exactly the same as your Mesa rectifier... But, it does have MANY useful and quality sounds. In the same way, the Antares Modeler won't sound exactly like the mic you want, but it is useful.
 
I just got done installing it on my machine about an hour ago. I'll let you guys know ih a couple of days. Initially it seems very cool.
