Austrian Audio PolarDesigner is a free polar pattern processing plugin for adjusting microphone pickup after recording. Designed around the OC818 microphone in Dual Output mode, it also works with other dual-output sources. It is useful for home producers and recording engineers who want to refine instrument pickup during mixing rather than rely entirely on decisions made at the microphone.
The plugin lets you shape separate polar responses across one to five frequency bands, with adjustable bandwidth and solo/mute controls for each band. This gives you frequency-dependent control over pickup, instead of applying a single polar pattern to the whole recording. Proximity effect adjustment helps manage the tonal influence of close miking, while equalization controls offer free-field and diffuse-field response shaping.
Terminator AI provides tools for reducing or recovering selected frequencies and instruments. Linear-phase processing, full automation, and preset saving, loading, and sharing support repeatable setups and detailed mix adjustments. For Windows users working in compatible hosts such as FL Studio or Ableton Live, PolarDesigner offers a focused workflow for dual-output microphone recordings.
