• Microphone Technique In getting the best possible recorded

sound, mic technique and placement are at least as important (if

not more so) that mic choice. A good engineer can record a

great track with an SM57 while a poor one can make a U47

sound like doo doo. If your audio is not well-recorded in the first

place, the AMM-1 can to do very little to improve it. If you start

with a poorly recorded track, all the AMM-1 will do is make it

sound like a track that was poorly recorded with a great mic.

• Excessive Frequency Boost Although the AMM-1’s processing

does not itself add noise to your signal, any noise in your origi-

nal audio or noise added by intervening processes (e.g., A/D

conversion, pre-AMM-1 dynamics processing, etc.) will be accen-

tuated by any large amount of frequency boost. This should

only 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 result-

ing noise level is unacceptable, you should choose a different

combination of mics and/or turn on the modeled mic’s low-cut

filter.

• Polar Pattern Selection The AMM-1 can’t recover information

that was not recorded as part of the original signal. For ex-

ample, if the original audio was recorded with a highly direc-

tional pattern (hence picking up little room tone), you can’t set

the modeled mic to Omni and expect the room tone that would

have been recorded if the original was set to Omni suddenly to

appear. You can however, simulate that effect with some judi-

cious use of reverb or an environmental simulator.

Conversely, if your source was recorded with an omni mic and it

picked up some unwanted audio from the rear, you can’t realisti-

cally expect to set the modeled mic to hypercardioid and have

the unwanted audio disappear.

• Off-Axis Response The purpose of the Pattern selection is to

model the varying frequency characteristics that result from

each of the available pattern settings, with the assumption that

the audio was recorded on axis (i.e., from the front of the

microphone). Since the AMM-1 has no way of knowing the

actual placement of the signal source, it does not attempt to

model off-axis performance.
