1. Even with a completely comprehensive set of mic impulse responses (to cover every non-linearity), still it would be relatively useless!

2. But as I tried to explain, it couldn't achieve that. Using an even simpler example: Let's say you have a cheap dynamic mic that rolls off sharply above say 8kHz, how can a mic modeller recreate the sound of an expensive condenser (which rolls-off at say 20kHz)?

1) It would work OK as long as you were recording close-mic'd solo instruments. The examples you're putting out assume a band / orchestra playing at once, which is not always the situation, and is almost never the situation for home musicians (IMO probably the target market for this.) I suppose you would have to also tell the software the proximity and orientation relative to the instrument, not practical, but still possible in theory, I guess.

2) I get that, my point was about how it seemed to be marketed, not the actual functionality.
