Anything can happen. Guitar pedal and amp modelling of some real quality and portability hit the market over a decade ago, but in that time the boutique analogue market for effects and amplifiers has exploded. It'll be hard to model the variations possible in microphone configuration. There are some techniques that will just plain require multiple dedicated microphones—no matter the environment. But other solutions like Zoom handhelds will definitely diminish in number. I used to rent something like that to direct from the soundboard so a former band could record our live sets. Now all you need is a line-in to your phone. Same with just being able to jot down ideas—I'm totally excited to have recordings to my phone not end up compressed garbled messes—even possibly usable? Yes please! That said, if everyone is done with their Neumann's, you can kindly deposit them with me for free!
