Mic Mod

About

Make the mics you own sound like the mics you wish you owned.

Mic Mod is the microphone modeling tool that makes the mics you own sound like the mics you wish you owned.

Instantly expand your mic locker with models of vintage mics from Neumann, AKG, and others, plus a wide selection of modern boutique mics. Mic Mod includes precise digital models of over 100 legendary microphones. Just tell it what mic you’re using and what mic you want it to sound like.

Mic Mod not only reproduces all of the subtle sonic characteristics that make each microphone unique, it also gives you control of each mic’s specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it’s in the model. Close or far placement? Just dial in the proximity control. Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would have with the actual mic. For that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tube saturation.

Features

• Source Mic and Modeled Mic
• Simply select the mic you're using (or used during your original recording) and the mic you want it to sound like.
• Proximity Effect is a bass boost that results from placing a directional mic in close proximity to a signal source (e.g., a singer's lips). With Mic Mod EFX's Proximity controls, you can actually create the effects of different mic distances based on the specific physical properties of each individual modeled mic.
• Low Cut Filter
• If your source mic has a low cut filter, enter its setting in the Source Mic Low Cut menu. If your selected modeled mic has a low cut filter, you can model the effects of any of its settings with the Modeled Mic Low Cut menu.
• Pickup Pattern
• If your source mic has variable pickup patterns, enter the selected pattern in the Source Mic Pattern menu. If your selected modeled mic has variable pickup patterns, you can experiment with the effects of any of its patterns with the Modeled Mic Pattern menu.
• Tube Saturation
• Based on the same technology as Antares' famed WARM Tube Saturation Generator, the Tube Saturation control lets you give your track the warmth of a high-quality tube pre-amp.
• Mic Mod EFX is available as a plug-in for RTAS (Mac & PC), VST (Mac & PC) and Audio Units. At a fraction of the cost of even a modestly lust-worthy mic.
• Modeled Microphones
• The following is the list of the models that are included with Mic Mod EFX.
