Turn a Shure SM58 into a Neumann U67? Acustica Audio Lava Review. Model your mic when Mixing.

Is it possible to turn a $100 mic into a $10000 mic? Acustica Audio seems to think so. In this video, I review the new Lava plugin and show what it can do and how it sounds. No science, no Plugin Doctor, no "Hardware vs Software", just meat and potatoes testing and how it actually sounds.

Full Disclosure:
Acustica Audio sent me an NFR pre-release of the plugin for me to review, however, they did not see this review before it was published and have no influence on the review.
