AT2035 or MXL V67G for male lead vocals?

[sonatataster]

I know, I know... there's no such thing as the right mic for male vocals, only the right mic for a specific voice. My voice tends to be flat in the bass range, heavy with vibrato to croony in the baritone range, belty to tight in the tenor range, and light and airy in falsetto. I kind of sound like a combination of Ben Gibbard, Rufus Wainwright, and Elvis, but that's a pretty rough comparison. My voice really varies from song to song. With that in mind, I was wondering which would be a better choice: the AT2035 or the MXL V67G. Any thoughts?

I can't say I've used the AT 2035. I do have the AT 4033 and AT 4040, and I like them.
I do have a couple of V67g's, though (bought used, of course). I loaned them to a friend for some solo acoustic stuff he did at home, and his recordings sounded great.

In a word- V67G.

I've used both and the V67G would be my first choice of the two for general male vocals.

It may suck for some male vocals, shine on others, and be ok on some...but I'd guess (from my experience) that it'll be better on more male vocals than the AT.

Are these your only two options? If so, what everyone has been saying ... the 67

I have both however they are not my first choice for vocal. However I have done a good male vocal (rock band) with the At2035 when I first got it to try it out tracks here. The V67G would sound fine as well, I quite like the V67G on guitar cabs but I have done some test vocals of myself and it would be a good vocal mic.

I think you just need to try them out and see which one sounds the best with your vocal dry with no eq compression etc. If it's the mic that sounds best dry, it will be the easier one to mix later.
