Video Recording

[crumcy]

Hi guys,

I am new here. I play guitar and i am thinking of doing a video recodring at home. I own a toneport line6 ux1 and a digital camera.

but my question is that, hw do u sync the sound from toneport and the video from digital camera? is there any additional software/hardware i need to use besides toneport and a digital camera?

your help is very much appreciated!
Thanks!

It's as easy or as complicated as you want it.

Easy method:
Blast your computer's speaker to full volume and record your playing. Sound quality would be pretty bad though.

Moderate method:
Connect the "analog out" (the one with number 1) to the "mic in" of your digital camera. This can work IF your camera has mic in and a headphone out for you to monitor your sound (I doubt so, though... unless yours is a digital VIDEO camera, not a still one). Sound quality would be pretty good, though.

Complicated method:
Record yourself playing with the speakers blasting. At the same time, record your playing to wav (you do have a software to record, don't you?)

After that upload your video to computer. Import both wav file and video file to a video editing software, then sync the audio of the wav file to the audio from the video. Once you are sure it is in sync, delete the audio taken from the video file.

Another way, get a webcam. Then use a program like windows movie maker to record the video and sound together. What i will do is i will plug my Guitar > Multi FX > Computer Mic input. So you can have video and audio together, much easier than recording then sync-ing it with the video, i tried it, can get pretty irritating.

crumcy, what is the brand and model of your videocam? Some videocam has audio inputs which you can connect from the Toneport's output.
