Everything is there, but it's all out of proportion. So in an effort to get the beautiful, nuanced sound the condenser mic offers, you end up with super compressed sound with a totally unnatural EQ. This makes the audio really uneven unless you compress it a lot. If you're four inches from the mic, moving two inches forward makes you twice as loud. If you're a foot from a mic, moving two inches forward only makes you a bit louder. I wonder if the LF rolloff and presence boost build into most mics are to facilitate this sound.Īnother side effect of being closer is that volume fluctuates when you move. A lot of microphones have a big presence boost and LF roll-off. I think people like the boomy bass + crispy top end more than just neutral sound, but I don't.

So, to counter this, you'll see people get up closer on the mic, which increases the ratio of source sound to room sound (kind of like close mic'ing a woofer when you measure speakers - the reverberation is still there, but the woofer is way louder).īeing closer to the mic increases proximity, which can sound boomy, which some people fix by using some kind of presence boost, rather than cutting the bass. The pickup patterns tend to be fairly wide as well, so the room reflections get in there more. Everything from LF rumble to HF noise will get into the signal. When you get a good quality condenser mic, it tends to pick up quiet noises due to the high sensitivity and wide frequency response. I don't want to hear that muffled sound due to how close people have their mics in their face. Because if it's all about the sound field pattern (i get that a shotgun mic can use the same one, and is highly directive), then to hell with that pattern because the hit to sound "naturalness" is just awful. Why would anyone use these sorts of mics? Is it honestly people not wanting to buy arms to hold up a mic off-screen. So my question is, honestly besides seemingly these "throat" desk mics I suppose having a sound field pattern that doesn't have to take into account room reflections so much - what is honestly the wisdom behind using these stupid mics where your lips have to be borderline committing visual induendo with the mic? Keep in mind, this goes for those studio-type situations where a person is in a foam padded room, but they're still having their mouth an inch away from the mic, or an inch away from whatever filter is between you and the mic.

Anytime they move the sound changes insanely.īut then you have people making videos with shotgun/boom mics (or whatever you call those that are off-screen and being held up by a mechanical arm slightly off camera.)Īlmost EVERY single one of those microphones are far more consistent when watching peoples videos that use them. Firstly, they all sound like the person has a mic down their throat. But no matter what, all of them are actually garbage by the way they're being used. You know how on Youtube and video podcasts/radio, everyone and their mother has desk mics.

Users of the original Microphone Modeler can upgrade to Mic Mod EFX for $79 USD.I also got a question about mics (well kinda).

Mic Mod EFX is available to purchase as an effect plug-in for PC and Mac (VST/AU/RTAS) for $159 USD. And for that final touch of perfection, you can even add some tasty tube saturation. 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. Does the mic have a low cut filter? If so, it’s in the model. 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.

You can even use it during mixdown to effectively change the mic on an already recorded track. Or use it in live performance to get the sound of mics you’d never consider using on stage. 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. Simply tell Mic Mod EFX what microphone you are actually using and what microphone you’d like it to sound like. Using our patented Spectral Shaping Tool™ technology, we’ve created precise digital models of a wide variety of historical classic and exotic microphones.
