ENGLISH
Microphone type
The Virtual Bassist speaker cabinet is recorded using either a dynamic
or condenser microphone. The microphone can be placed on axis,
meaning directly in front of the speaker cone, or off axis meaning that
it points more towards the speaker’s edge than the cone.
Because the speaker combination selected also affects the sound of
Virtual Bassist, the above microphone descriptions should be only
treated as a general overview. The many combinations of microphone
and speaker types will give you a broad choice of tones for every Virtual
Bassist Style.
