Hey guys Ive been working on MMicArchitect for MXXX but I've ran into a few snags.

Does anyone have any Impulse responses or eq curves for mics they would want to add in ? Neumann's, Royers, Shures, Senhiesers whatever you have. Thanks!

I don’t have any EQ curves as far as I know sorry, but this sounds AMAZING. Will I be able to use it with my Sennheiser e835 to simulate say, a U87 or an SM57?

You find stuff like this if you search around a bit. (Example: Sennheiser MK8.)

Perhaps this helps. Digging around on the manufacturers' websites can give you lots of technical info.

As far as IRs are concerned, this is something I will try out next week:

As it is a free download, everyone can download this from Audiothing and use it with Melda stuff. I cannot say anything about the quality yet, however.

Well you're going to need a high quality Mike to benefit from any sort of impulse response or EQ curve. For instance if you use a shure sm57, thinking you can use a u87 impulse response and you will get the same results as with a 900 or $1,000 Mike you are definitely mistaken. This one more capture the flavor rather than the final result of a microphone but I believe those characteristics are the reasons why people go for those mics in the first place.

Yes that’s fair enough I definitely won’t get the same end result. But it would still sound better I imagine

I use IR's like seasoning when cooking, just another interesting flavor.../s~

I have done curves for all my microphones (about 50 measurements) and it makes sense to turn one into another although it also looses something. Anyway it's funny to turn a SM58 to be more like a TLM103

My question is, how to get interchangable curves. My curves are relative ones as I analyzed white/pink noize played through a headpohone... So I can change MY microphones with VERY accurate settings, which is very important.

Ok, I can turn that relative curves into absolute ones, changing MY SM58 into MY TLM103, but how would I do a curve, that is only the frequency response of a SM58 & does it make sense to use it for any other SM58 than mine... The curves differ in the details from microphone to microphone and when you flatten the curve (haha

) you will maybe amplify the wrong peaks...
