Okay so at this point I've mostly started coming here for the music and I don't think I'm alone. You gotta start pulling us into your engineering and production process because if you're telling me that you tuned up these vocals to sound this natural then I'm fully in awe
Thank you so much Nkosi! I’ll do a few production walk through videos on certain tracks that allow for some discussion. The vocals are very lightly tuned, I try and get it to 90%-95% of the way there. If I feel that I can’t reach the notes, then I gotta change the key of the tune. :)
Agreed! :) I have done a review of the the Flea 49 and a separate review of the U67. Hopefully they might help. Though the M149 is far cleaner option than either of those. :)
@@alecbritsI’m currently considering one of those 3 microphones for male vox… which one would you recommend for powerful gritty lower register vocals? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Excellent video....now you've made me want a U67 more than ever. It really is the type of mic you can record everything with and still get an amazing final result.
ELX BRIT YOUR ARE THE MAN!!!! YOU SERIOUSLY ARE MY GO TO GUY. ALWAYS testing MELODIC equipment. I got the API 512V because of you and they are amazing. this might be my future buy. 1960 SOUNDS ALWAYS!
Mate this is fantastic. Thanks. I decided to take the plunge. Should get my 67 by end of next week. Looking forward to it. Especially after this review.
@@alecbrits Yeah I forgot to mention I bought mine from Studiocare. Big thumbs up for those guys. Great bunch of lads and first class service. Of course the microphone is incredible that goes without saying :).
@@alecbrits And I agree with you about the visual aesthetics of the Warm mic. It looks very cheap. I would not purchase one for that reason alone. There are other good options that also sound good.
It’s pretty hard to review the speakers. I would love to show you guys how they sound, but it never feels right. We have tried a binaural head, but that sounds SO gross. I can do just a talking review on them if that helps?
I finally got an U-67! But not because of this video but because of your Neve 1073 LB VS Neve 88R LB video where you used the U-67 for all tracks which sounded awesome. I guess / hope - and also heard of - that this Mic could be used as the only Mic for simply everything if you want to pick just one but very good microphone. The only other microphones I own are a vintage Audiotechnica AT-4033a (which is fantastic), a Shure Beta-58 and a Shure SM-57. So this one should be a step upwards in the "esotheric" game ;-)
@@alecbrits Okay, I don't know how i feel about the mic you proposed, i want to build a music studio in the future and have been learning more about mics, my favourite now is the chandler limited REDD, it is a collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, what about that mic, i'd love to see you review it and use it. :)
Hey Drake! I’m not too sure how they would compare, it’s been around 10 years since I have tried the TLM49, so I’d need to get one back in and give it a go and see!
Thank you so much Felipe! I have tried it in the past, but it was 5 years ago. I remember really enjoying it on vocals, acoustic guitar and saxophone. But I would need to get a pair in the studio now to see how they feel in my current workflow.
Would you say the u67 shined more on vocals or electric guitar? I have one on the way after being underwhelmed by my u87 on vox. Thanks and keep up the great work!
I don’t think so, I find it a little harsher in the upper mids, without the thickness and forgiving nature of the 67. But that’s just my opinion. :) I own both, but rarely go for the 87 these days.
I think they are very different sounding mics, the FET 47 is a little more focussed sounding than the 67, but I think that’s more to do with the hypercardiod nature of the mic.
I have a pair of U67’s. The TLM107 was a review unit, but I still want a pair of them for more delicate sources. The noise floor on the TLM is incredible.
I’m a big fan! The cable does transmit a little noise when moving around due to the fact that it’s an armoured cable, and the head band is not as comfy as the Beyerdynamic DT770’s. Sonically they absolutely smoke anything else I have. I’m never surprised when I listen on monitors after tracking. They have made mixing the work I track on headphones A LOT faster and more creative. :)
Very good question! I always use my 1176 on vocals, 33609 also is a pretty big winner in my book. Im now looking for something really transparent and fast. :)

@@alecbrits looking forward to it! Also you should review the SSL X-Desk 👀
This guy is who John Mayer is striving to become.
Great sound, Alec!
Thank you so much! John is a serious musician, would love to see him in action in the studio one day. :)
Yup. I’m getting John Mayer vibes for sure. Great stuff man.
great song and production and yep thats the U67 sounds like a records immediately!
Thanks Andy! :)
Wow those two drums sound amazing. Just the two mics… love it
They are a special pair, can’t get over how smooth they are on drum overheads.
Sounds great
Thank you!! :)
I'd love to hear a U67 Reissue vs. M-149 comparison video!
m149 is so much brighter, U67 has so much guts even when you EQ it. U67 is a different animals
Agreed! :) I have done a review of the the Flea 49 and a separate review of the U67. Hopefully they might help. Though the M149 is far cleaner option than either of those. :)

Thank you so much! Totally agree, I have decided to keep these guys. :)

Thank you Los Ficos!! :D congratulations on your purchases!
Man I'm just in love with your creativity
Thank you Marc!!
I keep coming back to this review just to hear the song!! :) I need this in my spotify stat!!
Working on it Tim! :)
@@alecbrits Well hurry up or i'm just gonna keep coming back and ruin your analytics! 🤣 (Yep that's my threat and i'm sticking to it)🤣
@@alecbrits When is it gonna be ready? 😅
@@h.hristov currently working on figuring out how to pay for it all. But the record is underway.
amazing. it would also be really cool if you did one of these videos with a vintage 47.
Thanks!! :) sure thing, will try and sort that later in the year.
Second this! Vintage 47 is the one mic I would love to work with as a singer. Just recorded with a vintage M49 which was unbelievable.
Great being able to listen each stem, thank you!
No worries! :)
Wow that's a great vocal chain. That preamp is something else. Of course the U67 is great.
It’s a great combo! :)
sooo underrated!! great channel great review ! thankyou
Thank you so much Sama! :)
Nice review/demo as usual. The U67 and M49 are my favorite mics, but the U67 literally works on everything.
They are so flexible! But I still want a pair of Flea 49’s.
@@alecbrits I’ve got my pair of FleA 49s and want another U67. He he.
I shall join you in the club!
great demo. neumann got it right with this reissue.
Thank you! :) they sure did.
i love that drum sound !
Thanks Kevin! :)
Mate this is fantastic. Thanks. I decided to take the plunge. Should get my 67 by end of next week. Looking forward to it. Especially after this review.

@@Screaming-Trees ah that’s awesome! Great humans out there for sure.
Wonderful sounding
It’s a wonderful Microphone! :)
@@alecbrits I would buy it from you 😆🙌🏾
That was a nice start to the morning. Thanks 🙏
Thanks Musa!
Beautiful playing!
Thank you so much! :)
nice review - good production values - yeah, new is better than old - very good music and vocal and audio production
Thanks so much Thomas! :)

Thank you very much
Thank you Andreas! :)
Yay for new demo songs :-D
Whoohoo!!! :D
im dying for a review of the Atc's haha
It’s pretty hard to review the speakers. I would love to show you guys how they sound, but it never feels right. We have tried a binaural head, but that sounds SO gross. I can do just a talking review on them if that helps?
Fantastic review, Alec👍 Have you given any thought to reviewing the new Lewitt 1044 mic system?
Thanks Blake! :) I’m super about the Lewitt mics, I’ll hopefully get one or two in soon.
Went Crazy!!!!!!!!
In a good way I hope! :)
Dope music
Thanks Zane! :)
god damn that sounds so fucking gooood
It’s a beast! :)

Congratulations! :)
@@alecbrits Thanx :-)
I’d love to see the Sony c800g for a review. It may not be the vintage style that you review mostly but i think it’s a great mic.
They are quite hard to get here new in the U.K. which is the main issue. I can try the GA 800 which could be fun. :)
@@alecbrits Okay, I don't know how i feel about the mic you proposed, i want to build a music studio in the future and have been learning more about mics, my favourite now is the chandler limited REDD, it is a collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, what about that mic, i'd love to see you review it and use it. :)
@@alecbrits Your Neumann v402 must be great on that.
That Gibson Sounds sooo good!
What a great Mic!
What‘s your personal fav. mic for vocals?
A vocal that sits infront of the Mix out of the box?
Currently the U67 or the M49 are front runners for me. There is a review coming soon that might change that for me though!
@@alecbrits Thanks Alec, so excited about that 🤩
Bro you are very talented! Where can we find your music?
Thank you so much! Working on releasing some stuff later this year. :)
are all these songs just made for these videos or can i find them somewhere else?
I write each one for per video. :) in a couple months I’ll start picking my favourites and making an album out of them hopefully!!
@@alecbrits def add this song!
@@ringdingdol will do! Thanks!
How would the tlm 49 compare I’ve heard it compared to the new m49v and the differences were so subtle just curious great mic thanks
Hey Drake! I’m not too sure how they would compare, it’s been around 10 years since I have tried the TLM49, so I’d need to get one back in and give it a go and see!
Can you demo the Warm Audio 67?
Perhaps in the future sometime. :)
Well Done!
Greatest vídeo!
I loved this explain about this Mic.The Good microphone.
Do you know TLM 49?
Lord Bless your life and dreams.
Thank you so much Felipe! I have tried it in the past, but it was 5 years ago. I remember really enjoying it on vocals, acoustic guitar and saxophone. But I would need to get a pair in the studio now to see how they feel in my current workflow.
@@alecbrits Many thanks for feedback.
I loved your New edition.
Would you say the u67 shined more on vocals or electric guitar? I have one on the way after being underwhelmed by my u87 on vox.
Thanks and keep up the great work!
I find I use it on both. :) they are my current go to mics. Really enjoy the sound of them on vocals, and a lot more!
Thank you!
Excellent!
What was the polarity settings on the takes? Just got my U67 and would love to try it with your settings. Thanks!
It was mostly in cardiod. :)
U67 reissue costs 7200 bucks. U87AI costs 3200 bucks+ 500 bucks for shock mount.
Indeed! Vastly different sounding microphones, built very differently. :)
@@alecbritsU87AI sounds fuller. Am I right sir.
@@alecbrits What is your opinion about U47 FET. I think it is even better than 87 and 67.
I don’t think so, I find it a little harsher in the upper mids, without the thickness and forgiving nature of the 67. But that’s just my opinion. :) I own both, but rarely go for the 87 these days.
I think they are very different sounding mics, the FET 47 is a little more focussed sounding than the 67, but I think that’s more to do with the hypercardiod nature of the mic.
What tuning do you use on acoustic guitar? Sound so NICE!!!
Thank you so much! It’s (From the low E) E B E A B E. Then a Capo on the second fret. :)
want to hear your songs
Thanks! :)
Can u compare this mic with Shure
ksm32 ? i know its not the same league but wanna know their similarities n differences.
I’d like to try the sure in the future! :)
A Mojave MA200 or MA300 will get you close at a fraction of the cost.
I have not tried them yet! :) looking forward to hearing.
Is that an Apollo rocket in the background?
It is indeed!
Original Naumsnn U 67 vintage is best. Reissue doent sound fuller.
Thanks for your input. :)
Are you still enjoying and using the TLM 107? Or is it outshined by the U67?
It was a review unit, so it ultimately had to go back. I’m still very keen on having a pair! :)
@@alecbrits wich one was a review unit, the U67 or the TLM107? And of wich one do you have a pair?
I have a pair of U67’s. The TLM107 was a review unit, but I still want a pair of them for more delicate sources. The noise floor on the TLM is incredible.
@@alecbrits thank you!
@@gabsauvage I have a pair of TLM 107:s. I think they're great bang for the buck. Would I rather have a pair of U67's? 🤤🤤
off subject but how do you feel about the neumann cans?
I’m a big fan! The cable does transmit a little noise when moving around due to the fact that it’s an armoured cable, and the head band is not as comfy as the Beyerdynamic DT770’s. Sonically they absolutely smoke anything else I have. I’m never surprised when I listen on monitors after tracking. They have made mixing the work I track on headphones A LOT faster and more creative. :)
The lil tecca mic
Not sure what this means. :)
whats your favorite compressor?
Very good question! I always use my 1176 on vocals, 33609 also is a pretty big winner in my book. Im now looking for something really transparent and fast. :)
@@alecbrits thank you! Have a good day
You too!!
to bad RUclips is not the place to demonstrate this with its compression.
I found that watching in full HD helps. :) it is weird recording at 96k and filming in 4K raw only to put it up on RUclips. It’s what it is. 😂
awesome
It’s a great unit for sure! :)
@@alecbrits yes sir definitely
why u ridicule guys who say the vintage gear is better, when it clearly is
U67 desn't sound open and fuller like U87Ai.
I think it’s quite full, but not as bright. Which is sometimes exactly what is needed. :)
@@alecbrits facts, EQ is where that comes into play. Pick my u67 up today.
man u don't know what ur talking about 🤦🏻♂🤣
