How to make a video recording audio directly to PC?

17 May 2009, 16:32
I want to record some videos of me playing the Fantom-G, but since I'm a newbie to this keyboard thing I don't know how to record the video through a camera and record the audio on the PC, making it sync both of them. Could someone help me? If my english is bad just ask me what you don't understand and I'll try to rewrite it.

Thanks.

I think that if your camcorder is Firewire compatible (most new ones are), you can connect it directly to your computer, while the Fantom-G can be connected normally with any option, like its analog outputs into your soundcard, or via its USB Audio interface feature.
Hopefully, the program that will capture your video performance maybe will provide the option to choose the input devices for audio and video. If so, then you can choose the Fantom-G for the audio data and your camcorder for the video stream.

Is there any program that you personally like? When you say "program" do you mean something like the ones that come with the camera or something else?
I'm kind of a retard in this area, so sorry me if something is really basic. Thanks for reply!

No, actually I'm not into video recording and editing really.
I just suggested what would be a possible procedure.
What is needed is an app that will mix the video from the camcorder and the audio from the Fantom-G in real time.

one option:

Not exactly realtime, but gives a good result:
Make your movie, while you record your piece in the fantom. Then, export your fantom g sound and your video in your pc.
Then use a videoedit program like premiere or so, and sync your fantom g recording with the sound of your videorecording. Cut the original sound while you're playing from the movie, and you're done.

Good luck!

I do this like this:

- The camera records the video and my voice
- My computer records Fantom-G via USB audio

Then I lay the Fantom-G audio track onto the video using GarageBand on my Mac.

The solution:

I always record the video and audio seperate and combine them later in editor software like aftertouch said. If you don't want to use editor software, download "Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder."

With this (free)software you can stream audio and video live from selected inputs (let's say the firewire cam and an audio interface) to a flash media server, but it can also save the stream in high quality on your pc, so you don't have to combine audio and video afterwards.

You can find the software on:
