Polar Pattern Selection
Mic Mod EFX can’t recover information that
was not recorded as part of the original signal.
For example, if the original audio was recorded
with a highly directional pattern (hence picking
up little room tone), you can’t set the modeled
mic to Omni and expect the room tone that
would have been recorded if the original
was set to Omni suddenly to appear. You
can however, simulate that effect with some
judicious use of reverb or an environmental
simulator.
Conversely, if your source was recorded with
an omni mic and it picked up some unwanted
audio from the rear, you can’t realistically
expect to set the modeled mic to hypercardioid
and have the unwanted audio disappear.
Off-Axis Response
The purpose of the Pattern selection is to
model the varying frequency characteristics
that result from each of the available pattern
settings, with the assumption that the audio
was recorded on axis (i.e., from the front of the
microphone). Since Mic Mod EFX has no way
of knowing the actual placement of the signal
source, it does not attempt to model off-axis
performance.
