Given today economy, don't you think if these tools were that effective, you would see them in all the major studios? What a fantastic cost savings that would be.I think there are many reasons why you don't see these tools replacing traditional microphones in major studios. Smoke and mirrors my friends, smoke and mirrors. Many of these companies spend more money on marketing than they do on R&D.Īnyway, mic modeling? Nope, not there yet. that make people think that there is no difference, but if you have ever owned tube amps are really nice mics, you begin to realize that the marketing is just smoke and mirrors.Ĭomments like "But can you tell the difference over earbuds?" "But is the real deal worth $xxxx more?" Comments like these were propagated by marketing reps that get paid big money to tell us how to think and what to say. I think mic modeling will be in the same boat. Sure they are convenient more cost affective (in most cases), but to say they are the same as a tube amp? No.


The technology has been around for decades and still can't quite match 1:1 real tube amps.

That being said, it would be great if the technology was perfected. Is there such a thing as mic modeler that isn't a waste of disk space?I am going to go with "No" on that one.
