dio mic. The mic simulator can add effects of proximity or distance.

This converts the characteristics of an inexpensive general purpose mic into the characteristics of
an expensive studio mic. For an already-recorded sound, it can create the same tonal change as if
the type or distance of the mic had been changed.
