Title: MicBud: Stereo Mic Array Modeling For Tapers
Post by: auxren on June 24, 2026, 12:27:35 AM

I made myself a tool to play around with mic configurations and understand what affects what.

https://taper-mounts.com (https://taper-mounts.com)

Give it a look. The field guide at the top can give you a detailed rundown of what is what.
It's got a selection of mics you can choose from. The mics are modeled from traced published specs.
There is a small selection of venues. The goal is to try to model various mic setups in venues and provide reference shows from archive that are taped in that venue with the same mics so you can hear a preview of what to expect.

Open to feedback!

Nice. Can you add the KA300 to the MBHO section?

Marking.

This is really interesting! Would it be possible to make this work for those of us who do purely acoustic recording? Maybe a toggle to set PA to 'none' and decrease the distance to stage to 0 m?
