Chapter 1 Trying out the expanded functions

●Mic Simulator

This modifies sound that was recorded by a conventional dynamic mic, lapel mic or direct line, causing it to sound as though it had been recorded by an expensive condenser mic or a special stu- dio mic. The mic simulator can add effects of proximity or distance.

< Microphone ➝ Microphone conversion >

This converts the characteristics of an inexpensive general purpose mic into the characteristics of an expensive studio mic. For an already-recorded sound, it can create the same tonal change as if the type or distance of the mic had been changed.

< Line ➝ Microphone conversion >

This adds a feeling of ÒairÓ to an instrumental sound that was recorded by direct line input, caus- ing it to sound as though it had been recorded with a microphone.
