Hello all...

One option is to record the audio separately and then sync it with the video during the editing process. This allows you to focus on getting the best audio quality without having to worry about capturing it in real-time while filming. To do this, you would typically connect your instrument or microphone to an audio interface or recording device and record the audio directly into a digital audio workstation (DAW) or recording software. Once you have the audio recorded and finalized, you can then import the video footage into your editing software and sync the audio and video together for a seamless result.


Another option is to perform live while recording both the audio and video simultaneously. This approach can capture the energy and spontaneity of a live performance but may require careful microphone placement to ensure good sound quality. If you feel that your camera's built-in microphone won't do justice to the sound, you can consider using external microphones to capture the audio. Depending on your setup, you can use microphones positioned close to your instrument or use a combination of microphones to capture different elements of the performance, such as vocals or a guitar amp. These external microphones can be connected to an audio interface or recording device to ensure optimal sound quality.
