I kinda feel bad about posting this stuff because it really makes me sound like I assume you are all broke morons but I promise I don’t think that. Its just tough finding freakin press releases for studio gear. Some companies are really secretive about their products because they don’t want people copying their technologies or ideas, but I promise I’m working on trying to find as much news as I can without just regurgitating info from press releases. I try to add personality to these posts even if you don’t like it. If you don’t want personality HERE’s the polar opposite! ENJOY!
So do you want to pull more versatility out of your mundane microphone but would rather spend money a la Charlie Sheen. Well here’s the answer.
If you’ve ever wished for an extensive collection of exotic mics (but shuddered at the cost), then Mic Mod EFX is the plug-in for you.
Using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool™ technology, we’ve created precise digital models of a wide variety of historical classic and exotic microphones. Simply tell Mic Mod EFX what microphone you are actually using and what microphone you’d like it to sound like. It’s as simple as that.
With over 125 microphones models included in Mic Mod EFX, you can afford to record each track through a model of the specific mic that will best produce that ideal sound you’re looking for. Or use it in live performance to get the sound of mics you’d never consider using on stage. You can even use it during mixdown to effectively change the mic on an already recorded track.
Not only do the models reproduce all of the subtle sonic characteristics that make each microphone unique, but they also give you control of each mic’s specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it’s in the model. Wind screen on or off? Close or far placement? Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would have with the actual modeled mic. And for that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tasty tube saturation.
Don’t get me wrong on this, the software seems very impressive and I would love to try it out to see what its all about. I just don’t want to completely advocate ditching proper EQ techniques and skimping on better quality gear. I think this product would be incredible for adding the “icing” to your mix. I might buy this just to see what’s up. Just look at all the mics this thing models.
