However, Antares' Auto‑Tune started off the same way and has since been produced as a low‑cost VST plug‑in, so perhaps MM will go the same way later. Ultimately, though, it doesn't really matter - all that's important is the result.Ĭurrently, Microphone Modeler is only available as a TDM plug‑in for Pro Tools systems.

Of course, much of the difference between microphones lies in their differing frequency responses, an issue which can be addressed to some extent with sympathetic EQ: indeed, I'm unsure as to how much Antares' program relies on true modelling and to what extent it is merely a re‑equaliser. Antares' Microphone Modeler isn't the first product to perform microphone modelling - Roland have included it in their VS‑series digital workstations for some time - but it is the first TDM plug‑in designed for the purpose. Physical modelling is getting pretty pervasive these days, and now it's moved beyond simulating analogue equipment, guitar amps and old synths to emulating classic (and not‑so‑classic) microphones. But can you really make any budget mic sound like a high‑end classic? Paul White investigates. Antares' latest plug‑in can, it is claimed, alter a recording made with one model of mic so that it sounds as if it was done with another.
