Ok...last week I was searching some info about sm57 mods (no tranny or different tranny) and I found this video:

It's very interesting but when he recorded the samples for the comparison, he tied the 3 mics togheter in a big triange (1 mic up and 2 down) aiming the source. Personally this solution is not very good because how we well know, only 1-2mm left of right can change very much the sound.
So I dared to post this comment:
" The comparison should be better with a reamped signal. Grouping the mics you can't have the same situation because aiming the speaker 1mm left or right can change a lot the sound "
It's not an offensive comment...it's only my opinion and I didn't say bullshits I suppose..
Today he replied:
"all 3 mics were in a triangle exactly on center, so they were effectively in the same spot hearing the same thing.
Much better than moving mics around.
I have been a recording engineer for over 30 years+ (and won Grammys as well), i am aware of mic placement differences.
This test is a neutral & equal way of hearing the differences in the mics, if you have a better way, please post it and i'll be the judge after i see & hear what you have done."
....Ok You are the best, you won grammys, you are engineer for 30 years but....how can you say that you're aiming the same spot, with 2cm+ of distance from each mic? I think a better way is to reamp a signal 3 times, placing the mics in the same position every time (at least for guitar amps).
Bah
