Mic Room is an extremely powerful and easy-to-use microphone modeling app for your iPhone or iPad. It gives you a comprehensive virtual collection of some of the most iconic microphone models of all time. Now you can have a diverse and versatile range of mic sounds that you can bring with you for use anytime and anywhere. The LE version of Mic Room comes with 1 microphone to get you started. You can expand your collection by upgrading to the full version or by selecting individual models a-la-carte. Mic Room gives you up to 20 microphones to choose from, that cover the entire spectrum of sounds from classic to contemporary: You get a spread of dynamic, condenser and ribbon microphones that have all been modeled on the essential tools used by A-list production studios everyday. And you can add on to this initial collection with even more microphones via in-app purchase. Using Mic Room couldn't be easier. It works seamlessly with your favorite high-quality hardware microphones (like IK's new iRig Mic Studio or iRig Mic HD 2 ) or the built-in mic on your iPhone or iPad. Just plug in, open the app, select which model you want your mic to sound like and there you have it — you're ready to go.
