Make the Mics You Have Sound Like the Mics You Want!

If your budget doesn't have room in it for every microphone you want (and let's face it, few people's do) then you're going to love Antares's Mic Mod EFX. If you were making music back in 2000, then chances are that you recall Antares's original Microphone Modeler plug-in. That legendary plug-in made heads turn here at Sweetwater, and engineers everywhere were simply blown away by what it could do. Prepare to be blown away all over again by Mic Mod EFX. This amazing plug-in is so simple to use and effective, it almost seems too good to be true.

Note: This product requires that you have an iLok account for authorization, although it does not require a physical iLok key. Please contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

It's easy to use, and the effect is profound First, you load Mic Mod EFX up on one of your tracks and tell it which microphone you're actually using, as well as how close it is to the source, which pattern it's set to, and whether or not it has a low cut filter on. Next, you tell Mic Mod EFX which microphone you wish you were using and specify the same details. The effect is astonishing! Thanks to Antares's Spectral Shaping Tool technology, you can make your handheld dynamic microphone sound just like a high-dollar tube condenser or a rare ribbon, and the only one who will know the truth is you. You can even use Mic Mod EFX live to take the sound of your favorite fragile studio mic onstage.

Antares Mic Mod EFX Features:

  • Antares's patented Spectral Shaping Tool technology transforms the sound of your mic
  • Simple controls let you specify the mic you're using and the one you want it to sound like
  • Great for both studio recording and live sound
  • Take control of each mic's specific options (pickup pattern, highpass filter, proximity, tube saturation, and more

Reviews

Finally, a reasonably-priced plug-in that delivers!
I was very skeptical about this plug-in; but I figured for $, what the heck—it's worth a try. So, after installation, I booted up one of the tunes from the last project and inserted this plug-in ahead of the other plug-ins (e.g., Smoothe 2, Auto-tune, etc.) on the lead vocal channel of a track that's had the propensity to sound a bit harsh in spots.

In the Source Mic bin, the Behringer B-2 mic originally used on this project wasn't listed; so, I chose "Generic Lg Diaphragm Cond" and experimented with several of the Modeled Mics—of course, starting with the Newmans.

Much to my delight, I immediately noticed an attenuation of the stridency on the vocal track. I continued experimenting with different Modeled Mic choices, until I landed on the "Sony C800G(w)." I tweaked a couple of the other settings, such as the proximity values for both the "Source Mic" and the "Modeled Mic" and voila! hit upon a sweet spot, harshness gone, and I immediately saved it all as a preset.

Best $ I've spent in a long, long time!

Amazing
I was just recording on the Sony C800g not too long ago and when I use this plugin at home (with my ml 770) and hear myself it sounds like I'm on the Sony. Blown away by how good this plugin is. Technology wasn't as good maybe years ago so that might be why this plugin isnt as popular. But this is absolutely worth every penny.

Perfect Modeling If your expectations are realistic
This tool is just that... A tool. I used it alongside my 1977 U87 and my U87ai. I was unable to tell the difference between my Ai and my Vintage U87 when I used this plugin to turn one into the other. Like a few others have stated... I'm shocked this tool doesn't get more exposure. It's not for the guy who's wanting his SM57 to sound like a U47. But, if you have a high-end Neumann condenser of any type, you'll be satisfied.
Amazing
I'm using this plug-in with a Manley ref cad, I have no clie what the actual version of most of these mics are really suppose to sound like. All I know is they sound great!!
