•Transient ResponseOne of the key characteristics of various types of
microphones is their transient response (i.e., the way that their dia-
phragms respond to extremely rapid amplitude fluctuations, typically
during a sound’s attack phase).
Intuition would suggest that modeling changes in transient response
between mics would be next to impossible — particularly changing a
source mic with a slow response to a modeled mic with a fast response.
Amazingly, that turns out not to be the case. The AVP’s...
