OT: Recording for youtube

Dniss · Post by **Dniss** » Sun Nov 27, 2011 5:53 pm

Hello again,

This is a bit off topic, but since many of you are knowledgeable in everything sound, I thought perhaps I should risk asking:

Those of you making youtube video, what's the easiest way of quickly recording something?

I have a mixer hooked to my laptop which I can use to record sound I guess, but how do you sync video and sound afterward?

There must be an easy way of doing this and achieve fairly good sound quality. I have Cubase but it's not installed, I rather not go that way.

I have a (non hd) older camcorder, latest Ipod (video are OK), and digital camera that can make video. Making a video is not an issue, making a video with good quality (stereo) sound is.

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Dniss, i record with a HD Camera, my Audio goes to a DAW in my computer.
Then they are 2 separate entities, in Power Director 10 i delete the Audio
from the Video and then i Synch it to the Audio that was recorded in high
quality in my DAW...its one of the options...i dont know much more about this.
I am good at Video editing but i dont think that is your question since that
will be more to a Speciffic Software oriented.

Thanks bro!

You're right about the software part. The most I'd like to use is Windows Live movie for editing.

I'm searching on the web right now, it appears I could use my web cam for video and select my pc sound card to record audio directly from my computer. I'm making progess, I'll keep searching.

Thats the best and easiest option. My Logitech C510 camera actually dettects
KRONOS USB Audio and records it directly...no need for synching or anything
and still a great picture and audio. All at once.

I run my analogue audio outputs right into the camera. You can buy adapters from Radio Shack, if they don't fit the jacks. I edit everything in Premiere editing software.

If you need editing software (which will let you move audio and video how you like), here is a link to FREE SOFTWARE.

When recording I turn on my speakers and shoot the video using a camcorder and its inbuilt mic, while also recording the audio directly from my synth line outputs into my soundcard using Wavelab.

Then I use Premiere Pro (video editor) to import the camcorder footage (and the camcorder's own low-quality mic audio track), as well as the separate high quality audio track I captured via my soundcard.

Then I simply manually sync the high quality audio track with the camcorder's low-quality audio track - in Premiere Pro it shows the waveforms so you can get it sample-accurate - once it's in the right place, I just delete the low quality track leaving the high quality track in its place.
