Last year asked how to record & got some great responses & @Thatbastarddon basically mentored me through learning recording & so much appreciated !!

As life takes a radical turn unexpectedly(nuther story ughh.) Will be dedicated a room with an ISO booth set up studio & no holds barred band room

Seems video is the format these days.

What set up?

1) camera - best type for room type shots

2) How to use camera into my recording set up using Mic's set up right

Thanks !!
 
1: A mirrorless, exchangeable lens camera together with a wide angle lens intended for videography. I'd recommended Fujifilm or Sony.

2: Mike up your cabs the way you would normally do, start your camera and record audio into your DAW and video onto the camera's memory card. Start by doing a sync sound, I usually do a quick up/down strum over muted strings, that way you can sync your video and audio later.

Record everything, mix and maater your audio, load the video into your video editing software of choice. Add your madterd audio track and use the waveforms of the track recorded on the camera mike to sync. Delete or mute the camera aufio track (unless you want it in the mix). Edit your video.

Thank you for the response. Do you have a recommendation for a particular camera to start with? user friendly maybe but with specs that dont need up graded. It wont be for pro video(have friend that does that) but for decent capture of a practice or that homemade RAW band feel

Yes, a used Fujifil X-H1 with the 18-55mm lens.
 
If you don't want to break the bank, go with a DSLR. Mirrorless is great and is the future of photography, but DSLR's are cheaper, work great and can be found used in good condition for a fraction of the price.

You will not see a difference in video quality between a $1500 mirrorless, and a $300 DSLR. Period.

+1 at the 18-55mm as they are the most common lens, and are dirt cheap. You can zoom them to cover an entire room, or just a section if you set up the camera out of the way on a tripod.

I use a Macbook so iMovie is my editing software of choice. I record the audio into Reaper, export as a MP3/Wave and import it into the video. I record my videos with my DSLR and import that video file, MP4 format, into iMovie. You can use a cell phone video as well on the cheap since most people have a cell with camera already.

Mirrorless cameras aren't more expensive than DSLR's. You just have to do the comparison between the same market segments.

If you compare the same level of cameras, Mirrorless are definitely more expensive. Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji all follow the same price points, entry level DSLR is half the cost of an entry level mirrorless. Even the used markets are still hard to find a great deal on mirrorless bodies. Used DSLR's are saturated in my area and dirt cheap comparatively.

Looking at new cameras they are the same price. The cheapes mirrorless Sony is $50 more expensive than the cheapest Nikon DSLR, both including kit lenses. The cheapest mirrorles Fujifilm is exactly the same price as the cheapest Nikon.

Choose wisely. You want it to produce a nice range of tonez in the colors. You also want a sensor that produces as little digital noise as possible and the noise you get should preferrably look analog, because analog is better ;)

The GoPro is great and versatile but has a very wide field of view and significantly worse low light performance than a DSLR or mirrorless. I wouldn't go for a compact entry level camera.

Mkaes sense..seems like should go a notch up from there. As i think about it, will mount it pretty much & leave it in place. The room will be about 16' wide , drums centered
