be a problem when your source mic has a substantial
bass or treble roll-off and the modeled mic has a
corresponding boost or, more likely, when your audio
was recorded with a low-cut filter on the source mic
and you do not use a low-cut on the modeled mic. In
both of these cases, the models will apply substantial
gain to the affected frequency ranges, raising the
level of added noise along with the desired signal. If
the resulting noise level is unacceptable, you should
choose a different combination of mics and/or turn on
the modeled mic’s low-cut filter.
Transient Response
• One of the key characteristics
of various types of microphones is their transient
response (i.e., the way that their diaphragms respond
to extremely rapid amplitude fluctuations, typically
during a sound’s attack phase).
Intuition would suggest that modeling changes in
transient response between mics would be next to
impossible — particularly changing a source mic
with a slow response to a modeled mic with a fast
response. Amazingly, that turns out not to be the case.
The TA-1VP’s models do model variations in transient
response in both directions.
