Sorry if this is a repeat. My News client freaked, and
I suspect I lot my last post.

Briefly, I was wondering about how to publish a nice
musical performance to youtube etc... while providing
great audio. I've been reading a little about it.

Here is my take after a brief Google search:

1) Provide a great audio signal to the camera
via it's *not stellar* audio input. Great.
No syncing issues, but you can't monitor the
input level on the probably lame onboard preamps.

2) Do some 1930's stuff and use a slate board and worry
about the sync later. Nope. I don't have that much time.

3) Use timecode. Now, I have a Tascam HD-P2 with timecode.
Would it cost an arm and a leg to get a camera with timecode?


Other than all this, how are casual internet users generating
video with great audio (if there are there any). I could post just
audio of my performance, but I'm now starting to get interested in the
video part of internet content sharing.

Thanks!

You can record the timecode from the recorder to a track on the camera and use that for synch, but it is really overkill for most projects.


I use FCPX and I just import my audio and video from the camera and synch it to my imported audio from the Sound Devices 744T by creating a multicam clip. This works well and quickly. I select synch via audio in the menu.
The only problem is if the camera is a long distance from the audio recording microphones. Then I do have to compensate for that difference by 1ms/foot difference.

I often record in an auditorium where my camera may be as much as 60' from the microphones.

When I can, I do use a clapboard or a hand slap to establish a synch, but I don't find it necessary most of the time.
