That's my point, exactly - it was already signal information captured by the microphones.

What a microphone emulator can do is analogous to "false color" photography - it can "color" the sound by re-mapping the frequency response - effectively EQ - that can boost or lower particular frequencies in ways similar to how classic microphones respond.

But if you microphone is deaf to certain frequencies or detail, it's not going to be able to recover signal information that was never captured in the first place.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
