    I just go into premiere and put both waveforms really big and sync visually. It always works for me.

        I record the sound with garageband and video with cellphone. Then sync both on iMovie.

          Yup, that's the way I'm doing it. I record the video with the video camera and the sound in Cubase using Guitar Rig or something along those lines. Then I just export the audio to premiere and sync video and audio there.

            That's the way to do it. You're running twin signals into the computer. If you've got a video editor (which you should if you're making videos) it should allow you to record both audio and video in a live stream, but you may not be able to use your camera as a webcam (can't pass incoming signal to the output, only during playback - that would be a camera limitation).

            If that's the case, then run your live playing into the DAW while recording to the camera. Dump the camera to the PC when finished and line up your DAW's recorded track with the camera's audio track (there will be differences in length due to having one recording before the other one, especially if your DAW automatically cuts out leading silence).

            Definitely want to use an audible intro click count for this. You'll want that as an alignment reference if you have to manually edit the timing.

                    i use a MS lifecam. Overall Im pleased with this camera..
                    http://www.walmart.com/ip/Microsoft-...000101&veh=cse

                    its nice but the software that comes with it doesnt have any option to switch the audio source(i.e. can only the mic).. so I use another program called DEBUT video capture which works pretty good..and set the audio to "what you hear" and use Guitar Rig for my amp..

                      The "What You Hear" is exclusive to SoundBlaster, as I understand. It comes with their audio device control software. Shame, too, cuz it worked with everything. MS's default mixer is useless; won't interface with the MOTU Audio Express through the USB, and for some reason the front-panel controls won't affect the volume of the Master Output, so everything's blasting through my monitors unless I tweak it in the DAW.

                      That gets to be a PITA with 20+ tracks.

                      As for a decent camera, I looked into it a few years ago and have been hooked on 3CCD cameras ever since. Much better image quality over cheaper 1CCD units. They're pricey, but IMO image quality is just as important as sound quality. Currently I've got a JVC HD-6, which I picked up a few years ago for about $600. I'm sure they're cheaper now. As long as it still functions, I'd say get one. They can't be used to stream directly into the PC, though. Still, there's the click track idea. Maybe even have the click playing through the speakers so the camera picks it up. You're dumping that audio track anyway.
