video recording performances

[Santomon]

Just interested in what the best way is to video a performance is and what camcorders have audio in so I could record the audio directly to camcorder without using a mic...I have a Mac Mini
Thanks

If I was video recording I'd record the audio from the mixer using Garageband and then add that to the video. I think you'd get a better result. IMHO

Yes I was considering that option but for the sake of time...I was hoping I could go from my mixer directly into a camcorder...so I wouldn't have to sync to video to the audio...The Canon ZR800 MiniDV has a stereo mic in but I'm not sure what kinda sound I would get...Dave was talking about something called iglasses...I think I'm going to research that a little this morning....thanks for your reply

Oh it looks like iglasses is a good app for editing the video but doesn't look like it will solve the audio issue..I guess the trick will be finding the right level of output on my record outputs from the mixer into the mic input on the camcorder....then once I get the video I can use the iglaases to add effects etc to the videos...

iGlasses let's you run filters over the current video stream, it doesn't let you run them later, and it doesn't let you edit video.

Oh ok Dave..thanks...I might just start out simple and get more fancy later...lol
