In this context I think I prefer the mics without the mic emulations

[@danthemanmillan]

hope they sell a drum mic package!

[@charleshale8504]

Would make sense wouldn't it

[@jayallisonsmusic4019]

Great drum bundle, great mic locker!

[@DaveMcCall]

That SD-7 could be a contender with mics 2x-3x its price point. I expect to start seeing it all over the place. I'll bet its a great broadcast style mic, too.

[@freeloader1985]

I’m just curious how the modeling compensates for preamp gain/saturation?

[@aaronarandac4]

Interesting, I really like the idea of these mics. However, I wish the snare mic sd 3 emulated more interesting microphones. It emulates mics that are quite attainable, I mean why emulate an sm57 for $125 when you could get an actual sm57 for $99 or used for even cheaper? Chances are you probably already have one too. The tom mic sd 7 seems to emulate more high end mics. A 421 for $149 is a good value as it is, but I'm not hearing major differences between emulations either. I'm not sure why the kick mic emulations sounded so muffled and dark, I really expected at least the d6 emulation to sound bright and clicky, but they all sounded muffled until he started moving around the filter. The sub kick emulation was cool. The mics did sound good without emulation, so it almost seems like an afterthought. Not sure how much I want to feel like I need to rely on the plugin to sound good anyways, but I am still open to it.

[@bocaj20]

Would these work in a live band situation ? Or are these more geared for studio recording ?Would be cool to have the option to change mic emulations to what works best.

[@sweetwater]

Hi bocaj20, thanks for the question! The mics themselves sound fantastic as-is and would make great stage mics. The modeling is software based, but Hemisphere does have a UAD2 DSP plugin for the modeling, so you could run it at extremely low latency on an Apollo interface for live use. You would still need a computer somewhere in the set-up to control everything through UAD Console. It wouldn't be the most streamlined of workflows, but could definitely work! If you want to dig deeper on UADs mic modeling, give me a shout! Drake Sobehrad, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, [phone] ext. 3271, [e-mail]

The T-Racks mic room has existed for yeaaaars it’s -sometimes- great

[@SoMyungJung]

I think all the emulations are pretty much spot on, except for the Audix modeling. Those ones are very scooped sounding and the emulation does not sound anything like the originals.

[@rickyanthony]

Very inspired product name 👀

[@linusheeda]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@masterofreality230]

Sound muddy with emulations on lol

[@jqr_4205]

great, now I will proceed to take out my neumann

[@antoinelablanquie3827]

Pleeaaaase tell me this is more than just a eq curve…

[@evanmartin4749]

Its definitely just eq fam

[@antoinelablanquie3827]

@@evanmartin4749 man I feel like I wanna go play on train tracks if you’re right, what a scam!
