Chapter 4: The Microphone Models
Your copy of Microphone Modeler comes with a collection of mic
models that is automatically installed along with the plug-in applica-
tion. These mics will appear in the Source Mic and Modeled Mic
menus. In addition, we are constantly modeling more mics. Whether
new mics that have just come to market, or classics we’ve just
managed to get ahold of, you should find an ever-growing collec-
tion to download from our website.
We’d also appreciate any suggestions you have for specific mics to
model. Email your suggestions to us at [e-mail] with
the words “Mic Suggestion” in the subject line. We can’t guarantee
that we’ll be able to include every mic suggested, but if we see
certain mics getting a lot of votes we’ll do our best to include them.
The Mic Model Files
Each mic model consists of two files: the model file, which is named
for the modeled mic, and a matching source mic file whose name
also includes the name of the modeled mic with the addition of the
suffix, “inv”.
These model files are found in a folder named “Antares
Models.” On Macintosh systems, this folder is located in
the Preferences folder inside the System folder. On PC
systems, this folder is located inside the same folder as the
Microphone Modeler plug-in. The Antares Models folder in
turn contains a “Modeled Mics” folder and a “Source Mics” folder.
Each folder contains one file for each microphone.
This version of Microphone Modeler includes the ability to add one
level of sub-folders in the “Source Mics” and “Modeled Mics”
folders. This results in easy-to-organize hierarchical menus in the
Source Mic and Modeled Mic pop-ups.
As you will see, we have used this feature to organize the mic models
by manufacturer. However, you are free to change this organization
to anything that works well for you. Simply add or rename sub-
folders as desired and put the appropriate models in each folder.
