NT1 sounds better for me, although I may be biased as I own one, but thanks for comparison, was looking for something like this!

I think of my 57 as a workhorse. I throw it at something and will get something workable in a mix. If I wanted more character and the source was right, I'd reach for the NT1.

[nobodys.shapeshifter]

I would use the NT1 for just guitar, but if it was going in a mix with a bass instrument I would go with the 57

Wow i dunno how you get your sm57 sounding that good.. Mine does not sound anything close to that on a acoustic guitar.

[kikodasneves]

sm57 surprised me there.... pretty decent tone

[EHMSL]

NT1 much more clear in my opinion. SM57 is warm but not in a bad way though.

[nicolasfeijoopalacios]

how do you get that much noise with the sm57? when i record with that i can hardly hear something even when i put the gain level all the way up at the interface

Anybody knows the chors to this? Thanks
