V67g...

[Zaphod B]

....came yesterday courtesy of the UPS guy.

Only had time last night to lay down a quick vocal track, I can't wait to get home and play with it some more. First impressions were very good.

BTW, it is a very cool-looking mic with the gold-plated screen and green body - looks much more expensive than it is.

excellent! congrats! new mics are always fun.

i think the v67 is a very capable mic, and excels on some vocalists. over time (or on some vocalists) you might find some "issue" with its midrange, but you might not. i did, but it's still my "go to" mic on one vocalist in particular.

and as you noted, it's got a "cool factor" that people tend to love. i've had clients specifically request "that green and gold mic"--i suppose they don't realise how cheap it is. sonically, it might not be the right mic for them.....but if singing into a cheaper mic raises the performance level, i can compensate for everything else.

if you record drums--especially drums that have cheap cymbals or in a less than perfect room, try the V67 as an overhead. you may be pleasantly surprised.


cheers,

I own a V67G, it was my first condensor and I've been using it for quite a while now. I don't really like how the tracks recorded with it seem to "disappear" when put in the mix.. vocals especially. It's ok on acoustic guitar though, and I actually really like it on kick when placed a fair distance away.

for something that would be useful to me at this point.

What do you want to trade/sell it for? I like the v67g. It isn't a good fit for every voice or application but it is a good mic for the price. I can see how it could get lost in the mix because it doesn't have the "edge" that some mics in that price range have.

unfortunately, I can't think of anything that would be considered roughly equal value that I'd want. I keep thinking that if I get a decent pre, maybe it won't suck so bad, but I don't think that's the problem. Got a halfway decent voice I can trade for?

PM me, so we don't keep bumping this up since it's the wrong forum.
