Want to use a camcorder to record a talk I am giving next weekend.
The equipment is a Cannon VIXIA HFM31 camcorder, an Audio-Technica AT2020 Condenser Microphone, and a Behringer UMC202HD audio interface. The camcorder has a 3.5 mm balanced mic input and the mic needs 48 V phantom power supplied by the audio interface. Plan to use a laptop USB port to power the Behringer and connect a 6.35 mm to 3.5 mm cable from the Behringer output to the camcorders mic input.
Beyond that is there anything I am missing?
I know I can record the audio on the laptop and sync the A/V with Adobe Elements software but am I just asking for trouble? Is the better audio recorded to the laptop worth syncing the A/V post production? I am thinking not but looking for advice from more experienced people.
