I think I picked a bad week for all these technical sturio questions. Oh well, here goes another one. This item caught my eye whilest looking for pop filters. Vic's advice is bringing me down a different path in that areanam but this sure does look interesting. It's a Clue Microphone Web Cam with CD quality audio. $79. http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Blue-Eyeball-2.0-USB-Microphone-with-Webcam?sku=423199 Did I find a good product, or am I way off base?
Strictly amuerater stuff of course. I'm simply Sharing the journey, or, tormenting others with my mis guided sense of skill. :mrgreen:

Roy,
That looks pretty cool I've never seen one but what happens when you sing in the mic isn't the camera part right under it? What will u get just your face in the picture?
"It's all about stickin it to the man!"
It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!
I would hope that the mic is less cartoid in nature and allows for some setting changes. I need to download their manual. Good questions! Thank you ...again 8)

I don't think it's really designed for recording vocals. It looks like it is intended for video chats, and podcasts/youtube videos. Sound quality will be pretty good for a webcam, but "HD quality audio" is a new term for me.....think they were a little hasty in putting that product review together. :wink:
One part of me still thinks that having some software that allows me to add a soundtrack to video clip will be the way to go. I guess that for a "live" performance recording, I would have to click on two record buttons. One each in audio and video software. Then I just smudge the two together in whichever software will do it.
Then again, it will be like putting lipstick on a pig.

The XP version of Movie Maker allows you to choose a camera as a video source, and choose any audio input as the sound source while recording.
I don't know if it can handle multiple simultaneous inputs, though.
