    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Bouldersoundguy! I'm lucky I can learn one system. Is it easy to acclimate from Reaper to Las Vegas Pro? Maybe Las Vegas Pro is more complex and difficult to learn than Reaper, so that's a factor too... Do you mean "laying down a guitar track first" by doing that "studio style" with the...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Again Keith! I'm thinking more about what you advise. You say, "real" movie/video production involves entirely separate audio and video recording, which are edited separately in post to make sure each is as good as possible, and then they are combined. Do you mean that besides the q8 maybe...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi bouldersoundguy! Again you take the time to lend a hand with your great obervations and knowledge of the recording world! I bought in early January a Scarlet 2i2 3rd Generation audio interface as originally all I was going to do with my 17 yr old matched pair of condenser mics is record...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Keith! I'm embarrassed and need to copy/paste notes into my main folder about the q8! I slipped and asked about using my Scarlet without re-reading things. Again my poor learning curve proves itself!! Sorry!!! I see now the treatment of audio and video can be separated or separate within...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Keith! You are very patient with my amateur-ness! Thanks again for such helpful info! I feel a little better now about 96Khz as I don't even think my q8 can record at that level, and my computer is "duo-core", 3.0 cpu, 2.0 USB, 8GB RAM, a business grade computer I bought used and is I...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Keith! Great advice! I am not savvy to such programs and separating audio and video and enhancing separately after recording, yet of course after one purchases such programs there's most likely how-to instructions. Are there tutorials you know of separately on that, meaning without having...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi Keith! Thanks again for your taking the time for me! I am very grateful. I see what you mean but get worried about myself, the amateur, and not merge the audio with the video accurately thus audio and video being out of sync. When editing them separately, or I should say if I have my...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi Again Bouldersoundguy!! Thanks for your great input once again!! I guess I could get a refund as I've only had the camera since Monday 5-4-20. I got the camera because I noticed other musicians used it for YouTube videos, only at this website I find nothing really about the Zoom q8. Is...

    Any Zoom q8 camera tutorials on how to best use it for a musician's video?

    Hi! Does anyone own a Zoom q8 video camcorder? You'd think there would be good tutorial videos on how musicians can best use it by now as it was I think introduced in 2015. I just received mine and the owner's manual is not good, although I'm carefully reading it. It's better than nothing...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi Rob! Do you know of any online tutorials on how to use the Zoom Q8? I just received mine and the instruction manual isn't very good. All I find on YouTube are rushed short videos on how they use the touch screen without much explanation. I saved almost a year to get this camera and other...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi jamesperrett! Thanks as I might try Reaper over Da Vinci Resolve. So Da Vinci is not good because of their trying to sell you more and maybe not offering much to start? Is their product very expensive? I might put in free clips I find of beautiful scenes for my first debut video on...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi! Thanks so much for your response! Something I never asked before, and foolish I overlooked it. If I just use the q8 and make a video using my large diaphragm condenser mics, one near my guitar and one for my voice, and simple shot of me playing, do I need any video editing software...

    Hi Rob! Great magnanimous deeds working with the CoVid19!! Here I am trying to promote "me" and meanwhile with the stay-at-home and probably no money spent on at least finding a quick test for the virus so businesses and small factories can be safe and operate, so then our economy crashes...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Thanks Jamesperrett! It seems you answered it all! Why did you choose Reaper over Da Vinci? Why are they free? Is there some way they end up charging you at a later date? How do they exist? So for someone who is simple like me, then I don't need Vegas and expensive editing programs? Is...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi bouldersoundguy! You say with Vegas, an editing program you purchased... "You can just drag a file from a folder onto the timeline and go." that you mean overall it is more user friendly than the free programs? You also mention you mostly use Reaper for video editing, then why do you own...

    DAW software for editing, is free software as good as purchased software?

    Hi Bouldersoundguy! You helped me before! Thanks for your much appreciated advice! You must be some kind of genius with seven cameras and twenty tracks! It's only myself, my old nylon string guitar, and sometimes I wear a brace around my neck and play harmonica too. I will have only 2 mics...

    Software that keeps it simple

    Hi Delmont! A person here notes you might have a Mac, so your answer to what I'm thinking might not help because I have a PC. I am wondering what you ended up doing now 1 1/2 yrs later. Did you use Cake Walk? I'm in a similar category as you. I just want to video myself playing guitar my...
