Mic EQ Matching Software/Mic Modeling

NOW with MARKER/LABEL TRACK CONVERTER!
(Move between Audacity and Reaper and keep your label tracks)

Click Here to Download

Enjoy the software? Thank you so much! Donations are always appreciated!

Create an EQ pattern/FFT curve for matching two mic's response profiles.

Works in Audacity, Reaper's ReaFir, and in the free MossEQ plugin.

Currently this software is in Beta, but it's mostly done, and any changes going forward will be QoL improvements, bugfixes, or keeping up with changes in the programs it applies to

TO USE: Unzip the file into its own directory and run ModelerEQ.exe

HOW IT WORKS: Record with two mics in Audacity, at the exact same time, trying to provide as large a range in pitch, tone, and timbre as possible for a short segment.
Then, using the "Plot Specturm" tool, export the spectrum for each mic, and save them.
Import both files into this program, and it will generate an EQ curve to bring one mic's sound profile closer to the ither one's.

In Audacity, you only need to do this one way, as "invert" will flip the curve (though you might want to alter the bass side of the curve in extreme cases manually.)

Blue Mics Replacement Switches

 $39 + Tax/Ship
Mic Type

Love your Blue Mic? So do we. But the SL series switches are plastic and tend to be... less than durable. A broken switch isn't the end of the world though. Our replacement switch assemblies have you covered: Metal Dailywell switches and expert engineering so that your mic gets back to its happy, productive life in your recording studio. Switch board assemblies available for Blue Bluebird SL, Blue Spark SL (XLR), and Blue Baby Bottle.

Phone Handset to XLR Adapter - 48V Powered

 $59 + Tax/Ship

I'll be honest: We got tired of seeing people destroying perfectly good telephones to harvest their handsets for making a lo-fi mic.

That, and you're never sure how any one handset will sound until you're done. Enter: The Olde Phoney. This apapter will allow you to use both the mouthpiece of the handset as a carbon mic, and the earpiece as a dynamic mic. It's powered by 48V phantom, so no batteries necessary! (The earpiece mic needs no power. The carbon requires it.) You can even record from both channels simultaneously. Just plug in most handsets, and it works.

COMING SOON

 

3D Printed single- and double-button carbon mic.

Engineered from the ground-up as a replica of the American Microphone model EL and other similar carbon mics from the 1930s, we'll be selling a couple of STL files to allow you to make your own!

While they're not going to sound like modern mics, (that's the point!) they make amazing effect mics, if you use them correctly.

They're fiddly/difficult to build in such a way that they sound good, so we recommend this project for skilled makers/engineers only.

There's a SINLGE MIC version as well as a LYRE MOUNT/RYCOTE STYLE version.
