TRBboy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) As it says above really! Pretty much the last time I did any home recording was about 15 years ago with a Tascam cassette 4-track! I'd like to be able to post vids on YouTube, but I don't really know what's the best way to go about it to get decent sound quality, without spending much money. And it needs to be pretty straight forward! Would I be best to use some sort of interface and a webcam, or should I just get something like a zoom Q3? I guess I could use the latter for recording my band too... I've got an older version of Cubase on my laptop which I've never used, and a digital camera that does video, a flip camcorder and a zoom H2. If it's possible to use any combination of these things to get the desired effect then great! Edited June 26, 2012 by TRBboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfunk Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hi, we use a Q3 to record rehearsals and gigs. It's easy to use and you could get a small tripod to hold it steady. To give you an idea these videos were recorded with it: http://youtu.be/jrKSa1ntSBA http://youtu.be/WFJNAY_YWoI So I think it would do the job nicely. The other option is an interface and webcam, you'd then have to sync the audio and video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised how well it copes with being right up close to the PA speakers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we've got a new song to where we need it to be we record it, then practice at home to the recording and gig the song at the next gig.
