Mic for Contrast to C1

Forums

I'm trying to decide on a mic for a contrast to the SP C1. While I like the C1, I would like another mic that is not as hyped on top for vocals and other applications where you just might not want that "somewhat overboosted" high-end . I guess I'm looking for a little warmer sounding mic. I have a SP C1, 2 SP B3, 2 SP C4, 2 SM57, d112, ATM25. Preamps are Langevin DVC and Sebatron vmp-4000e.

Why are DVD-V dynamics disappearing?

Forums

I know that the issue of dynamics in recent releases has been debated a lot. Although, what I don't quite understand is why DVD-V titles are suffering from this trend as well. Wasn't the whole metADATa concept implemented in order to create more options? It is depressing that I enjoy DVDs from a few years back more than recent releases with their current lack of dynamic range.

Delta 1010 -- Can I use dynamic mics w/o pre?

Forums

I'm considering buying a Delta 1010 to record my band, but I heard that you can't plug any mic whatsoever into the non-preamped (aka 6 of the 8 ) inputs on the delta. Is this true? I always thought dynamic mics didn't need power...

If it is though, what kind of hardware could I get that would preamp 6 mics separately?
