A modern reincarnation of Antares’ renowned Microphone Modeler plug-in, Mic Mod
EFX lets any reasonable quality microphone sound like any of a variety of historical
classic and rare exotic microphones. Using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool™
technology, we’ve created precise digital models that reproduce the subtle sonic
characteristics that make each microphone unique. Simply tell Mic Mod EFX what microphone you
are actually using and what microphone myou’d like it to sound like. It’s as simple as that.
Chapter 2: Introducing Mic Mod EFX
With 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.
About the Technology
The models employed by Mic Mod EFX are not
derived from theoretical considerations. They
are generated by a proprietary analysis process
that is applied to each physical mic modeled.
The precision of these models allows Mic
Mod EFX to reproduce even the subtle (and
sometimes not-so-subtle) sonic variations that
one often finds in different samples of the
same model of microphone. Consequently, for
some important mics, we’ve provided multiple
models, each based on measurements taken
from individual mics.
Another advantage of our model-based
approach is that there is essentially no
processing delay apart from the natural phase
effects of the microphones being modeled and
any delay inherent in the operation of the host
application or hardware environment.
Finally, the quality and signal-to-noise
characteristics of the processing are pristine.
Because of our commitment to model-based
processing, there are none of the limitations
or distortions characteristic of FFT-based
algorithms. The quality of the output is limited
only by the quality of the input.
So What Exactly Does It Do?
While there is a lot of fairly complicated
stuff going on under the hood, the essential
functionality of Mic Mod EFX is really quite
simple. Basically, audio from a microphone
is input to Mic Mod EFX where it is first
processed by a “Source Model” which serves
to neutralize the known characteristics of the
input mic. The audio is then processed by a
second “Modeled Mic” model which imposes
the characteristics of the modeled mic onto the
previously neutralized signal. Finally, the audio
is passed through a model of a high-quality
tube preamp offering the option of classic tube
saturation distortion.
The details are found in the next chapter.
