All About Ampire’s Virtual Miking
Summary
The mics you choose, their levels with respect to each other, and whether you add delay can make a major difference in your amp’s sound. Condenser mics are often too sensitive for close-miking loud amps, but when moved a bit back from the cab, they can give a brighter, more “open” response that handles note attacks well. (Bear in mind that amp sims do a lot of calculations, so moving the controls will sound “choppy.” This is because Ampire has to recalculate constantly to reflect the changing settings. Finally, note that if you change the Channel Mode from mono to stereo (or the reverse), the sound may mute. Of course, it’s easy enough to call up an Ampire preset, and just start playing… but becoming proficient with the Mic Edit Controls opens up a wealth of possibilities.
