Today I review a budget $7 usb soundcard, the Sabrent AU-MMSA to see if it's worth it and who it's for.

If the SM57 were a microphone, it would sound like the M201 TG; that's what Steve Albini's old website said, so I wanted to put them back to back and see how they compare. In the end these are two classic / legendary microphones and you can make great recordings with either.
