And I was waiting for the audio comparison at the end... Could not even tell the difference. Great video!

Thanks.

Just wanted to say thank you for all the insightful information, seriously helped out with gear and definitely can’t wait for your future videos!

@markwiemels 2 года назад

So kind of you to say, thanks for sharing.

@IronworkerGaming Год назад

Thank you very much for the review! I'm currently in the market for a new mic, and this video was extremely helpful! 🍻

@Etency Год назад

Thank you very much! I was able to pull the trigger on the mic featured here. I was long thinking between which microphone to get, how much to spend... do I get a separate ( ~100 €/$) boom arm or not and then I find out that Deity has a whole assembly kit with everything included for around ~180 € (with all taxes and transport costs included.) I was also seriously considering BEACN MIC ( which in pricing is between SHURE SM7B and Deity VO 7U), however it has very small representation (difficult/expensive shipping) to anywhere outside US... As much as we all like the best (and usually expensive) things, finding something for less of a price and with small (or in this case close to none) sacrifices also makes me very glad. Thank you very much!

@mo6570 2 года назад

Hey Mark, love your videos. I’m pretty new to mics in general! I went with a Rode Procaster based on your earlier video and I want to learn how to approach post processing. If you made a video on that, or can recommend one, would really appreciate it ! Thanks :)

@markwiemels 2 года назад

People keep asking for this, and I don’t really feel qualified to make that video because I’m not sure I’m doing it right. Having said that, I haven’t found the perfect video. Check out Curtis judds channel, some good stuff on there.

@buggzo Год назад

I could actually tell which microphone was which and much prefer the high roll off of the SM7b but like the practicality of the Deity -- can you apply a EQ roll off to get a more similar sound to the SM7b while podcasting?

@markwiemels Год назад

Yes, you can.

@BigMoneyTheory 2 года назад

Thank you for the review! I am trying to make my VO-7U sound like yours, but it sounds more "muffled" and almost like I have a stuffed nose. What EQ settings are you using? Also, what gain level do you have on the mic? Does the limiter reduce the voice quality even when I don't talk too loud? I have it set at 45% just in case. Should I increase it? Thank you in advance!

@markwiemels 2 года назад

I applied no eq, just a little compression to even it out. I was using mine at about 75% gain, also I had it a bit away from my mouth, wasn’t right on top of it.

@shields2594 Год назад

If you are using the headphone jack on the mic, it’s going to sound muffled. It’s an issue with the mic.

@grahambinoreviews Год назад

Thanks for the video Mark! I own the VO-7U and I'm curious, how much editing or what kind are you doing on the back end to acheive your quality of sound? Thanks

@markwiemels Год назад

I don't think I edited at all, maybe a slight compressor, or nothing at all.

@justindibbs Год назад

MV7 or VO7U? Having a tough time...the MV7 seems to be the most "popular" USB mic right now.

@comocantaremingles 2 года назад

Great video! Thanks! One question - is it true that the sound coming from the monitoring on the Deity is muddy and poor? I've seen some people complaining about that! Thanks!

@shields2594 Год назад

Literally just got it yesterday and this is correct. The headphone amp is pretty bad in it. The microphone itself is fantastic but I would say monitoring is the only con for me. I went from Blue Yeti which I felt like has great monitoring so kind of bummed but there are work arounds for me.

@comocantaremingles Год назад

@@shields2594 you think that an external headphone amp would solve the problem? Thanks 🤝🏾😃

@shields2594 Год назад

@@comocantaremingles that’s a very good question. I’m not sure. If I had an external amp, I would try. If you can get over the monitoring issue, it’s worth it. If I end of finding a solution, I’ll come back here and let you know.

@markwiemels Год назад

Headphone output, to me is ok, but not great. Agree it is the weak point.

@shields2594 Год назад

Said I’d give an update. I returned it lol I tried splitters and other things that would still make it “plug and play”. After it all, headphone output still terrible. Their customer service in my experience is pretty bad. Once they got the mic, refund came quick but prior was pulling teeth.

@fatihakturko Год назад

And as I looked comments and contacted with Deity customer service 1 - they replied as the issue after restarting unplug& plug has been resolved 2 - People mentioned about delay on Garage band records. How about these 2 issues you are now experiencing bud ?

@mohammadfarshoukh Год назад

do you think it's better than rode xdm-100 and PreSonus Revelator Dynamic ?

@markwiemels Год назад

Hard one, they are both good.

@fatihakturko Год назад

Bud I am on the same points too. But as I looked I think Revelator has plosive issues even with windscreen on …. And I watched that rode xdm 100 … seemed like background noise isolation is not that good…. I was really liked this Deity but as Mr. Wiemels mentioned … headphone monitoring is muddy not usable…. And also people reported about “Garage Band delaying on the records” :/ pfff All the ways for Sm7b I think : )

@Eighthnoteflame 2 года назад

I’m curious if the edit VO-7U works well for voice acting

@markwiemels 2 года назад

I’m no expert on voice acting, but I would have thought that you will be spending $500-$1000 for a good mic for that purpose, and it probably won’t be a USB mic. The vo7u does edit very well though.

@gugong Год назад

@adventuresinportland3032 Год назад

Oddly enough I'm feeling a lot more of the low end on the SM7B. Doesn't mean you couldn't get similar results on the Deity with some EQ though.

@markwiemels Год назад

Yea, that's about right.

Does not work on garage band for mac though. will work for a while then has a 1 second delay making it impossible to record.

@johnnyandrews-stocksdaytra7887 2 года назад

Procaster or Deity?

@markwiemels 2 года назад

The Deity has the same USB mic advantages over the procaster, when it comes to audio quality, it's really personal preference.

@f2lo2 2 месяца назад

Both r quite similar but deity audio is slightly better and cleaner.

@sung_yun Год назад

To me the sounds from the Deity and Shure are quite different in quality, the Deity is not as smooth and balanced. The Deity is not comparable to the Shure. Maybe Samson Q9U might be more comparable to the Shure.

@markwiemels Год назад

The Q9U is terrible in my opinion.
