LoneHollow - sEssions: "Hard Slowin' Down" + DynaCaster DCM8 

wow I didn't realize how good this thing sounds on vocals .. all these youtube vids seem to focus on podcasting and spoken word. wow blows me away this mic for vocal recording! Thank you, sE for this upload and for the amazing products you guys produce!

Love the sound of this mic! Could you do a saxophone test?

I just bought the Dynacaster DCM8 but mine seems to have some issues. The first thing I noticed is the relatively high background hiss I hear when recording something with it plugged into my Goxlr mini. I made sure to match the output volume with my Rode Podmic (they ended up needing the exact same amount of gain to have the same output volume) and I found that the Podmic has practically no background hiss in comparison. I then tried to activate the built in dynamite to see if that would help. I turned on phantom power on my Goxlr, matched the output volume as close as possible and found that the background hiss is now a little less (though still a little more than the Podmic), but then another problem arose. The Dynacaster now distorts when the recorded sound gets too loud even though the meter in my recording software (and the Goxlr itself) tell me the mic isn't clipping (far from it actually). Seems like I'm overdriving the capsule even though I didn't have this problem with the dynamite turned off. Now I'm wondering if I should return the mic to get a new one or if this is normal. Hope someone can help me out!
