best video camera for recording audio image
Ross
I'm looking for a video camera to record some videos of myself playing the piano. I honestly care more about sound quality than picture quality, yes, I would like to have a very good quality video, but sound is more important in this case. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you can swing it, take the audio feed from microphones into your computer's hard drive and take the video feed from the camera into the computer's hard drive and record them simultaneously into an appropriate program. Most modern camcorders have CD quality sound now but you could get even better quality sound if you do it this way because it allows you to use superior microphones, external equalizers, and other sound processing gear to get your sound. This is how the professionals do it and there is a reason for that. Good luck to you!

What is a good, cheap way to record audio?

My friends and I have recently begun to produce short films for fun and for school, and I have decent video editing software. The biggest problem we face is the awful quality of sound we get from our video camera's microphone. Lip synching at a later time could be an option, although on-location audio recording would best suit our purposes.
Anyway, does anyone know of some basic (cheap) equipment that can record audio and is able to be uploaded to a computer for editing?
Thanks

You need some sort of USB interface or for a laptop maybe that you can take with you. Also, a good mic for that application would be something with a hyper-cardioid pattern like a "shotgun mic".
If you get a USB interface a lot of times they come with software to record with. Try the presonus stuff or something like that. The Pro Tools MBox stuff is great too. Also, M-Audio.
