I want to record videos of myself playing the drums but when i just use a video camera, the sound is not accurate at all. I've seen on YouTube that certain people get the exact sound by using mics (for acoustic kits) but how do I do so for the DTXplorer (an electronic kit). Please do mention all the different methods you know in case I do not have the equipment for one method.


Answer
Recording an electric drum kit is very easy if you have either a recording interface or a USB mixer.

With either of these, all you need to do is connect the output of your drum's modulator to one of these. Then you will need some kind of recording software. There are some very basic programs that are free, but very basic.

So what you will do is record the sound while capturing the video. You will then tweek the audio in your recording software and then sync it with the video in the video software of your choise. Many times Windows based computers will come with free movie making software. If you don't have any, you can probably download this for free as well.

Is there a way to set up a digital camera to record video from your computer and record sound from a mic?

I have a digital camera that records video but the sound quality isn't good. Is there a way to plug it in to my laptop and set it up to where it records video onto the computer while recording sound from a mic?

I plan on making drum covers and I need good sound quality in order to do so. If you know a way to do this PLEASE tell me cause i really need to know.



Answer
There seems to be no way to set up the cam like this...

Good luck!
