With the Microphone Simulation Tool, the mix engineer is able to set up his/
her own microphone simulation using the dialog box available in the Options/
VSP menu.
The settings may be changed as follows:
The front left and right microphones may be moved by grabbing one of them
with the trackball and positioning it as desired. The opposite microphone
moves to a symmetrical location. The same may be done with the rear left
and right microphones. The center microphone cannot be moved.
The front, center, and rear microphones may be independently changed as to
their polar characteristics. This may be done using the sliders. Each pattern
can be changed from omni-directional to shotgun.
The Front and Rear microphones may also be independently changed as
to their positioning angle. This may be done using the angle sliders, or by
double-clicking and dragging with the mouse.
So when a VSP Channel Pan Mode is selected to the USER setting, the set-
tings within the Microphone Simulation Tool will be used as a basis for the
underlying VSP panning law. These settings may be changed in real time,
and the changes will be audible as they are being made. This is an exciting
and functional tool that the mix engineer now has exclusively with the use
of the VSP panning system within the Studer D950 or Vista consoles.
