friends band ..great guys,,,just asked to use my facility...got me thinking..last time i posted the thread.."Can an idiot learn pro tools"..well Bastard Don stepped up & mentored me to the point its getting there...Now... have the facilities to hold a show & the gear & could take the band to a real quick instant situation..J could possibly pull it off if in our environment

what do i need to make this go pro? What camera & how to record it..thanks for any help !!
 
Sorry, not my area of expertise...4 little GoPro cameras strategically placed? I’m guessing there’s a mixer of some kind to capture an audio feed from. Working with video, recording the audio separately, sample rate is customarily 48kHz either 16 or 24 bit....16 bit keeps file sizes more manageable.
Mix and sync the video with audio in software.
It’s been over a decade since I’ve played around with AV sync.

The easier path might be a fancy camera with a fancy external mic...but there will be audio changes with camera direction change if the mic is camera mounted....

Thanks, was thinking the nice camera..with mic into mixer or smething like that..does bring up the question..expensive camera & built in mic or separates.....been really digging into it last few hours. I am all set up actually with the website & all my social media 1 click away frm being bombastic again(dread it at times-married in a band is very difficult with a very small % of the public--always got to be rude)

My area would be able to be captured on 1 nice camera if need be for starters. At least get the ball rolling & learning curve started. We thought of running the last 10 songs we receded strait through live...think my cuz is in on bass & might be able to get my good friend to drum, now the public playing is done. Shouldn't take long to get to live level

Kinda fired us all up in a way.. can put the words there for J to see & we can back her up being on cue...(sad, her brain ..still has a mini delay built in..and standing for half hour or so is not so easy for her) But maybe do 3 song mini sets..then we can just free jam for a bit...been 3 1/2 years since a concert..thats like 3 lifetimes in wait time when you have this much original material...lol...having to relearn my own songs is weird cause now i see them dif.
 
I am of no help to ya brother..
Great luck on your next endeavor, because you seem to come out on top, regardless of the task at hand.
Cheers

In a professional, multicamera situation, audio is almost always recorded separately from video, and then sync’ed with the video.

The traditional way of doing this is with a clapperboard. Once cameras and audio are rolling, the board is clapped shut.

Since the closing of the clapper can both be seen on video and heard on audio, both are sync’ed to the instant the clapper is clapped shut.

...and yes...
there are several apps for that.

That‘s why I referenced using a sample rate of 48kHz....to maintain sync over time. When I did do a few projects with video, I was amazed as to how much drift could occur, over time, when using different sample rates. I thought about buying the SMTE card for my old DPS24 when I was engaged in those activities....but when I used a 48k sample rate everything stayed in sync much better, once initially aligned.
...drum sticks, clicked over the drummers head for a count in, can make for a good “clapper” source.
