Chapter 6:

Realistic Expectations (or, AMM-1

Meets the Space-Time Continuum)

Although the AMM-1 seems in many ways to be almost magic, it is,

in fact, simply very clever science. And as such, it remains subject to

those pesky laws of physics.

To get the maximum satisfaction out of the AMM-1, it is important

to have realistic expectations of exactly what it can and can’t do.

(Most of what it can’t do relates to the physical impossibility of

recovering information that wasn’t in the original signal to begin

with.) Here are the main issues to be aware of:

• Choice of Input Microphone Luckily for all of us, the general

quality of “affordable” microphones has reached a remarkably

high level. Consequently, if you stick with well-known manufac-

turers, most any reasonable quality mic will provide sufficient

performance to allow the AMM-1 to do its magic (OK, we said it

wasn’t magic, but we’re speaking metaphorically here).

On the other hand, you can’t expect to go into a large (but

unnamed) mass merchandiser of low-cost electronics gear and

pick up a $19.95 mic and expect the AMM-1 to make it sound

like a U87. If a source mic has massive roll-off in a particular

frequency range, there is no way the AMM-1 can produce the

signal that would have been captured had the source mic had

better response.

• Microphone Variations While there are obviously major differ-

ences between various models of microphones, there are also

often more subtle differences between different samples of the

same model of microphone. Whether due to manufacturing

variances, age or condition, there is no guarantee that the mic

we modeled will be identical to your source mic or to a specific

mic you want to model. In the case of some well-known classics,

we have even provided multiple models of the same (but soni-

cally differing) mic from different sources.
