There's a lot of SM57s
The SM57/58 is the most popular microphone of all time!!!   A LOT of stage use.     Probably every pro studio has a few but in pro studios they are mostly used for special applications.    The SM57 is commonly used for snare drums or in front of a guitar cabinet.   (It's impossible to overload and distort them.)

There's a lot of "mythology" among guitar players (and maybe musicians in general), in some ways similar to the audiophile community.
As there is in every community, including this one. Just saying.

There's a lot of SM57s. Based on this video, I can infer that many musicians can tell a poor mic from a better one. I'm not a musician and I could tell just by listening to the tests.

Debian has MinGW-w64 GCC in its repos, try using that to build it in place of the regular GCC. You might not need to change anything, MinGW-w64 implements Windows-compatible versions of many Linux-specific headers.

So, vintage microphones with a mythical aura, they will be kept in the studio with whatever flaw time has passed on to them.
And kick drum microphones don't need to be made for full frequency range.

And the video was fun.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that?

Curiosity got the better of me and I thought I might give it a few runs timed - but Windows screams bloody murder no matter how nice and green https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/d25e6ff03748d19613794ca4a4ea07ea331d505d7c0b72cf5055596a98c5962c?nocache=1 looks.
Will rather wait a few updates. (Windows updates, I mean.)
