A D.I.-to-mic simulation plugin that makes a dry acoustic guitar D.I. sound like a stereo microphone recording.
It pairs guitar body and mic modeling with built-in SSL EQ, compression and reverb, so it works as a complete acoustic guitar chain.
Best for: Guitars, Acoustic Instruments. Genres: Rock & Indie, Pop, Jazz, Acoustic & Classical.
Keywords: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, built-in analyzer, hardware emulation, built-in mix knob, mixing, orchestra, oversampling.
What it does
Acoustifier is SSL's D.I.-to-mic plugin for acoustic guitar. It emulates a dual-microphone studio setup so D.I. recordings, live feeds or tracks captured without good mics sound like a professionally recorded stereo acoustic.
- Body models: four acoustic guitar types: two dreadnought variations, a jumbo/large body and a concert/orchestra model.
- Mic modeling: dynamic, condenser or ribbon mics in XY or spaced-pair setups, with a blend between body and neck mic signals.
- SSL EQ: a built-in EQ with a quick tilt band and a real-time frequency analyzer.
- Reverb and dynamics: Room, Hall, Plate and Chamber reverbs with ducking, plus an integrated compressor with a mix knob.
- HQ mode: oversampling for higher-quality results.
The current version is 1.0.18 (1.0.19 on Windows), with a 14-day free trial.

When to use it
Acoustifier is aimed at one job: turning an acoustic D.I. into a mic'd sound. Unlike Antares Mic Mod and IK Multimedia Mic Room, which change the character of an existing mic signal, it models a guitar body from a pickup. Pick Acoustifier when your only source is an acoustic pickup or D.I. and you want a stereo, mix-ready result with EQ, compression and reverb in one plugin.
- Best for: D.I.-recorded or live acoustic guitars, home recordings without good mics, and stage feeds.
- Genres: singer-songwriter, folk, country, pop and rock.
- Look elsewhere if: you already have a good mic recording; a regular EQ and reverb will serve you better.
- Standout: the choice of guitar body and mic type/configuration, with a body-neck mic blend.
