Hatred for the SM57?
Forums
I was just reading a post, I forget which one, and there was a person generalizing that elite engineers hate the SM57. I can imagine that someone with a plethora of money to spend on a mic collection wouldn't pick an SM57 as their first choice, but I do feel this mic serves a purpose in any collection.

What's better than sm57 on snare?
Forums
I'm getting less than optimal results with my sm57... I know everybody loves them but what's better? I've been using a condenser on the snare because the sm57 lacks enough clarity and crack to cut through the mix(yeah, yeah, I know change it at the source.. 3 snares later i change the mic!) But now I need something with more body too. any suggestions? anybody use the Audix D1?

old sm57s better
Forums
i heard the older Shure sm57s sound better. but how do i get one or several. nothing on ebay now...
i assume this is the low-end of vintage microphones...but it's such a workhorse that i'd like one for my project studio.
any advice?

SM57 always gets honorable mention..
So what’s the deal with this mic? Why does it always get mentioned with such praise? I was just curious because I bought one about 14 years ago (and still have it). I don’t recall what I paid for it but I don’t think it was all that expensive.
