Apartment recording--Dynamic or condenser mic?

Forums

I'm trying to to a bit of tracking in my apartment. For those of you who are familiar with the living environment, you know that cranking an amp is out of the question. I've been using a SM57 on my Peavey Classic 50 212 with adequate results. The problem is that I have to have the input level on my Tascam US-122 really high.

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?
