Over 125 renowned mics, modeled in full detail.

Using patented Spectral Shaping Tool technology, Antares have created precise digital models of a wide variety of historical classic and exotic microphones. Simply tell Mic Mod EFX what microphone you are actually using and what microphone you'd like it to sound like. It's as simple as that.

With over 125 microphones models included in Mic Mod EFX, you can afford to record each track through a model of the specific mic that will best produce that ideal sound you're looking for. Or use it in live performance to get the sound of mics you'd never consider using on stage. You can even use it during mixdown to effectively change the mic on an already recorded track.

Not only do the models reproduce all of the subtle sonic characteristics that make each microphone unique, but they also give you control of each mic's specific options. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it's in the model. Wind screen on or off? Close or far placement? Each option results in the same sonic effect that it would have with the actual modeled mic. And for that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tasty tube saturation.

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.

ProximityProximity 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 SaturationBased 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.

          Comments about Antares Mic Modeler EFX:

          This came free with the MXL 990/991 package deal. That was the kicker for me. I did have to purchase an iLok device, but that was OK. Having this effect in my arsenal was worth every bit of money and time. Very pleased!

            Comments about Antares Mic Modeler EFX:

            I was pleasantly surprised to hear how dramatic this alters the sound. Some sounds, sound warmer than others. It obviously doesn't represent the microphone exactly, but it is a very good filter/eq that approximates the sounds we all want. Few studios have more than 4 "great" mics. This gives you an arsenal of microphones to work with -- although they are essentially estimations of those classic microphones, they are quite nice and I plan to keep this VST in my arsenal. It also doesn't use much CPU power. It requires an iLok2. All in all -- great job!

                I was supposed to get a free gift for having purchased all my stuff but didn't get it. IF this was it, after reading the reviews, I guess I didn't miss much.

                        I didn't get another copy of this free product when I had the microphone replaced. But I didn't care because it was junk, as far as I could determine , trying to use it. I think it was a " gift " with the on sale mic because it is useless.

                              Got this as a premium with an MXL 990 mic (which I really like!), but to use it requires a fifty to thirty five buck dongle you have purchase separately. Since I don't want to do this, the program is essentially useless to me.

                              Essentially, this piece of software is worthless. It requires the purchase/use of an iLok USB key, which must be purchased separately. I have no intentions to use it, as I not only do not want to pay an extra fifty for a USB key, but I also don't want DRM software stealing computing resources from my DAW.

                              Antares maybe made some good modeling software, but you wouldn't know it, since they've ruined it with the inclusion of this terrible DRM.

                                    This program requires a thing called "iLok". It instructs you to go out and purchase an iLok drive at your favorite music store in order to load the software. I don't care how good the program is, this is way too much hassle to go through to load a program. I didn't load it and will look for something else that doesn't require me to go back to the store and follow 4 pages of steps to get the program authorized.
