If you chose your mic carefully to start with (and probably hang some soft fittings around where you're recording to deaden the acousting in your room, you shouldn't need most of those anyway. This has the added advantage of letting you change settings as required while you edit-if you record with the effects already on, you're stuck with things as they are and can't fix them later.īeing really pedantic here, I'd also hate to have to add all those effects to every voice I record. The more common way of working is to simply record you mic in its raw form then apply all those effects when you Export your multitrack session after doing whatever editing you need to do. I ask because the only extra thing VAC does is let you record with all those effects already included on your mic. However, I have to ask.what exactly are you trying to do? Well, there are a couple of programmes for Mac claiming to be equivalent to VAC: Virtual Audio Cable Alternatives for Mac OS X - Not being a Mac user, I can't vouch for how well they work.
