Chapter 4: The Microphone Model Files
Your copy of Mic Mod EFX comes with a collection of mic models that is
automatically installed along with the plug-in. These mics will appear in the Source
Mic and Modeled Mic menus.
The Microphone Model Files
These model files are found in a folder named
“Antares Models.” On Macintosh systems,
this folder is located in the Application Support
folder inside the Library folder. On PC
systems, this folder is located at: Documents
and Settings\All Users\Application Data\
Antares Models. The Antares Models folder in
turn contains a “Modeled Mics” folder and a
“Source Mics” folder. Each folder contains one
file for each microphone.
This version of Mic Mod EFX includes the ability
to add one level of sub-folders in the “Source
Mics” and “Modeled Mics” folders. This
results in easy-to-organize hierarchical menus in
the Source Mic and Modeled Mic pop-ups.
As you will see, we have used this feature
to organize Mic Models by manufacturer.
However, you are free to change this
organization to anything that works well for you.
Simply add or rename sub-folders as desired
and put the appropriate models in each folder.
Customizing Microphone Menus
The Source Mic and Modeled Mic menus will
always reflect the sub-folders and model files in
their respective folders.
Here are a few hints for managing your mic
menus:
•
It is not necessary to have the same mic
models in each folder. You could, for
example, put only the source model files for
the mics you actually own at the top level of
the Source Mic folder, eliminating the need to
constantly hunt in sub-folders for the few you
usually use.
•
For quick access to a few specific mics on
a particular project, create two temporary
sub-folders named Project Source Mics and
Project Modeled Mics and put all the mics
you plan to use for that particular project
in them. When you finish your project,
just move all the models back into their
respective folders.
•
The mic names that appear in the menus
reflect the names of the model files. We
have assumed that the actual mic names are
probably the most informative. However, if
you’d prefer something else, you can change
the names of the model files and those new
names will appear in the menus.
Automation and the Mic Menus
Most host applications provide the ability to
automate the settings of plug-ins. Although
Mic Mod EFX is totally automatable, you should
be aware that the fact that you can add and
delete items from the Source Mic and Modeled
Mic menus can result in problems with some
automation systems.
To understand why, it’s important to note that
host applications typically remember menu
selections not by storing the actual item
selected, but by storing its position in the menu.
Imagine, for example, that you select a mic that
is the 17th mic listed in the menu and store
that setting for later recall via automation. In the
meantime, you rearrange the mics in the menu
such that two mics end up above that formerly
17th mic. Your originally chosen mic is now
19th in the menu and the next time you recall
that automation setting, instead of getting the
mic you expect, you’ll get the mic that is now in
the 17th position.
