Hey everyone,
This is going to sound like a really stupid question, but I have to ask it because I'm not sure.
I have a blue DP-01 from several years ago, so when I found out that the DP-008 had been released, which was about a week ago, I was immediately sold based on the size alone.
Anyway, my question is about microphones.
With my DP-01, I've always used my guitar and a PG58 dynamic for vocals (with a female to 1/4-inch input), mostly due to the fact that, in the past, I couldn't afford condensers and like the simplicity and affordability of dynamics.
A lot of focus on the DP-008 seems to be about being able to connect XLR mics and using those as inputs with phantom power.
Here's the really stupid question: I know the DP-008 can record two tracks simultaneously like the DP-01, but can you plug a dynamic mic into one of the 1/4-inch inputs and record the guitar at the same time?
It's a really stupid question, and I assume the answer is yes (because I can do it with my DP-01), but there's also no mention of using a dynamic mic instead of a condenser in the manual. What would the switch (mic/line) be set to to record both? I'm just curious because the mic input on the DP-01 is separate from the guitar input, unlike the DP-008, which has the two inputs next to each other.
I feel really stupid for asking, but it never hurts to ask, right?
