I shipped out my 57 to madtho in a trade for a Heathkit signal tracer turned guitar amp. I soooooooo get the better end of the deal, and I haven't even heard the amp yet.
I still have the broken one to remind me...

No way! NADY? you are kidding right? audix??? hahahaha - and then you're gonna run it through your behringer tooob preamps? Neumann km84? everybody knows that mics not half as good as the KM184! (atleast for lead vocals). who would ever use that on a snare drum? that's INSANE.RefD wrote:Audix i5?
Neumann KM84?
Nady Starpower 3?
all of those are better choices!
C'mon guys - everyone knows that to make radio-ready, state-of-the-art, industry-standard recordings - you have to use a 57 on the snare.
nothing else handles those sweet frequencies as gracefully.
(and since i am feeling generous i'll tell you a secret industry professionals don't want you to know: you can use ANOTHER 57 UNDER the snare. No - seriously - you gotta try before you knock it. it will BLOW YOUR MIND. BUT - now please hear me - the key is - you have to FLIP the phase of the bottom mic. but hey - you didn't hear this from me!!!)

Though I rarely reach for the 57 these days, I have to sing its praises after the last two nights of using it on snare top, with an AT4050 on snare bottom, and a pair of OktavaMod MK-012s in a spaced pair above the kit. The best snare sound I have EVER achieved, and the best overall drum sound I've ever been a part of recording. Umm... 57 and AT4050 tracked through Sytek 1-2, MK-012s through BA 312s.
But we used Coles and and SM7b on guitar cabs.
