Virtual instrument platform Musio has officially launched a new mic positioning feature, created using real recordings of physical microphones in authentic studios across the globe.
The new addition, called Mic Position Mixes, is described as highly-requested, and utilises real-life mic recordings captured with “state-of-the-art setups” such as rare (and expensive) Neumann M50 tube mics in a Decca Tree array. The recordings were mixed by top engineers like Dennis Sands, who has worked on countless films, has been nominated for four Academy Awards, and has mic positioning down to a tee.
The Musio team also travelled across the globe to capture culturally unique sounds in locations such as Reykjavík, Iceland, and Cape Town, South Africa to ensure that every mic position “reflects the depth, space, and authenticity of its original recording environment”. Users can also now explore a new built in mixer to control levels and compare their different sound sources.
Chris Hayzel, who stepped into the CEO role at Musio in late 2024, says of the launch: “It’s always exciting to release something that we know our users really want. And they’ve been very clear: They want more control over their sounds. The nice thing is the recordings were already designed for this – we just had to bring it all together.”

Musio became the new home of Cinesamples back in late 2023. The integration aimed to decrease “the clutter and friction of traditional, complex sampler plugins” for composers and producers, and welcomed its vast range of sample libraries for the world of movie, TV, and video games to the platform.
