It matters less if all parts are being played in tune and on time, but in multitrack recording scenarios, this is rarely the case, so the logic is thus:
Record drums first to give all other parts a temporal and metric reference.
Record bass next because it typically plays on strong metric pulses, and because harmony is grounded in the lowest note in the ...

What you are looking for are called "stems" or "raw tracks" and are generally only made available by artists who actively want to promote remixes of their works.
Some good sources are:
Weathervane Shaking Through
Real World Remixed
Nine Inch Nails Remixes
Mike Senior's multitrack downloads library

The squares in a row on the right represent the buffer memory of your camera.
When you are recording video the data goes roughly as follows:
Sensor -> Buffer memory -> Memory card
When the last square turns red it means the buffer is full. This is caused by the fact that the buffer memory could not move it's contents to the memory card fast enough. ...

Unfortunately, no products exist as of this moment, for high-quality stereo recording on Android. It's a real shame... I've been looking for something similar.
However, there is a very good chance that your phone does have an audio input as a secondary microphone input within the headphone jack. If you are just getting recordings to practice with and ...

Sell your Pro Tools license and equipment and buy Reaper.
It's cheap, good and functional.
With whatever left of this trade off you can buy some decent recording equip.
You can also get a UAD soundcard for heavy duty processing and analog emulation.
In short: If you have a limited budget you don't need Pro Tools.
Now, the rest of it - equipment, ...

Deciding whether or not to shoot interlaced is really a matter of matching your destination format. If you're shooting video for the web, you should record it in progressive scan mode. You can record interlaced, and then de-interlace it in software, but this will likely lead to video artifacts, especially considering your subject matter.
I think the ...

Apple's Final Cut Pro X includes a variety of auto-analysis and auto-correction features — stabilization, compensation for rolling shutter, color balance, et c. It can also attempt to automatically time-sync multiple clips, which I've found does a pretty decent job at roughing out the timeline.
While I normally would feel uncomfortable relying on automated ...

So the problem is (drumroll) the crappy sound manager that came on the laptop. The RealTek software was defaulted to "filter out noise" from the microphone. It, of course, was doing a terrible job of it. I turned that off and all was well I got tons of extra noise from the un-isolated inner workings. But at least I know where all that sound is coming from.

I'm assuming that this MacBook does not have a firewire port, so you're limited to USB.
An external soundcard for recording is usually called an audio interface, and you may have more luck searching using this term. I usually start with major site known to carry them, such as Amazon, Musician's Friend, Zzounds, or Sweetwater. There are many such sites, but ...

I don't have experience with that particular Samsung camcorder, but I did do some long term recording on an older Samsung camcorder. My camcorder had a time lapse mode that allowed it to capture a frame every minute or so. It would record while plugged in to A/C power. Although the camera used the FAT32 filesystem with 2GB file limits, it was able to span ...

Depending on the quality of audio you're trying to get, there are several options you can go for.
Assumptions: This will be used in fair conditions, and does not require any additional ruggedness.
1) Buy an omnidirectional LDC (Large Diaphragm Condenser), a matching shock mount, and some sort of boom stand. Set it up in the middle of the space you want to ...

The first thing you will need to do is translate those acoustic tracks to midi. If they are seperate tracks (kick, snare etc on an audio track each) than you could look at drumagog, a plugin available for most sequencers. If you are in logic on a mac you con do a drum replace that will generate you midi notes that you can send via an audio interface to any ...

I suggest the SM-57 or AKG C 1000 s.
I've used both in studio and live, for acoustic and electric guitars. The quality is down to the engineer (as always) but I've always had clear results with it. Out of the two, I much prefer the AKG but it is battery powered where as the Shure is not!
Although, if you can get a Sennheiser MD 421 II Large Diaphragm ...

There isn't really a good answer to that. There isn't a whole lot you can do with a fixed shot and making adjustments on a live shot is always a danger of being distracting, even when controlling it by hand as an experienced operator. Making adjustments via a Pan Tilt Unit while the camera is live is going to be anything but smooth and will be very ...

The reasons for an automatic stop are either reaching the 30 minute limit (thank you European Union video camera tax that ends up impacting what's available to most of the rest of the world), hitting the 4gb file limit (file system limit for the OS on the camera), the sensor is overheating (high usage + temperature) or the buffer is being used up (memory ...

You are hitting a bottleneck of some kind - from your description it is hard to see whether it is CPU or I/O based, but things that could well be culprits:
You are only running with 3GB of RAM - this is pretty low. The Java engine can require large amounts of RAM. I play a fair bit of Minecraft and 8GB really helped me out!
A Core 2 Duo is not exactly ...

Check out Wowza - it should do what you want. The basic premise of Wowza is video in, video out. It can take multiple video streams into it's encoding engine, and spit them out in various formats, live.
If you've got 4 inputs (let's assume they're cameras with HDMI output), you need a computer with 4x HDMI input cards (or 2x computers with 2x cards, ...

Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, *96 kHz
Bit depth: 16-bit, 24-bit
Number of channels: 1 (monaural), 2 (stereo)
From the D3200 manual (p.86) check out if the procedures you are doing are the correct ones :-/

Assuming you don't need great quality and are ok with ip camera quality footage (which it sounds like you are), you could pick up several wireless ip security cameras and connect them via WiFi on the same network as a Mac laptop running Security Spy.

There are a few communities my band is a member of that trade stems with other bands - the purpose being a quid pro quo development of remixes/derived material that we then deliver back to the other bands.
This gets a bit of alternative development, helps us all learn, and possibly attracts new fans.
As an example local to me, the United Noise Remix Theory ...

I'm not familiar with any communities that exist specifically for trading stems ("unmixed tracks"), but most music production forums have a section or etiquette for collaboration. Pick a forum that caters to the kind of music you make, participate in the community, and figure out how the local etiquette works.
There are often a ton of remix projects going ...
