Reinvent Your Recordings
The Most Versatile Mic Ever
The Virtual Microphone System (VMS) and ML-1A microphone work together to give you the sound of a full classic studio mic locker in one. Record with the ML-1A, then use the VMS plugin to test out different mic tones during or after recording — just like swapping mics in a studio, but way faster (and much more affordable).
Meet the VMS Family
The VMS plugin works seamlessly with the ML-1A, ML-1, and ML-2 microphones to capture audio with incredible transparency and consistently deliver authentic, true-to-performance results with every take.
The Perfect Multi-Purpose Mic
The ML-1A and VMS plugin are built to record more than just vocals. Pair them together to find the perfect fit for any instrument — whether you’re capturing the snap of a snare, the shimmer of an acoustic guitar, or the warmth of a grand piano.
Your Mic, Your Rules
The VMS plugin lets you dive deep into the details of your sound. Swap mics with a click, refine the low-end, add width and color as needed, and even blend mic models together for a tone that’s totally your own. It’s a full-blown recording lab right inside your DAW.
Blend. Morph. Personalize.
Proximity Perfected
Sculpt the low end with precision. Whether you want tight, clean vocals or warm, full-bodied presence, the Proximity Slider gives you flexible control over bass response.
Mic Morphing
Blend two legendary microphones into one signature tone. Create a unique sonic fingerprint that cuts through the mix and fits your track perfectly.
Widening the Stage
Instantly transform mono recordings into immersive, stereo-rich soundscapes. Perfect for vocals, instruments, and anything that needs extra space.
Analog Attitude
Choose from a curated collection of virtual preamps to add saturation, color, and analog mojo to your signal—no outboard gear required.
“The new VMS plugin is a standout. It’s a huge leap forward.”
