We're in the process of buying a house and it seems like I haven't been doing much music related exploration lately, hence the posting has been a bit sparse. I'll have a music room that will be roughly twice as large. More ceiling room and concrete floors which will liven the drums up a bit. My current room can be a bit dead - but it's been a good thing, since I'm no acoustics expert.
We've had a computer connected to our TV for the past two years. Our Samsung 32" LCD has a VGA input. We had cable for a year since it was coming free with our internet, but cox got stingy and decided to take that away. For the 5 years before that, I didn't have cable.
We got a new camcorder today - the panasonic HDC-tm700. They've come a long long way since I was a kid - but what hasn't technology-wise?
It's got the HD and 3 sensors, which used to be a feature you could only get on cameras costing a few thousand clams. This means it works very well in low light - which is most shooting conditions indoors. I plan on using this for audiopropellor extensively - I'm going to do a few videos on recording drums and mixing them.
Of course it beats the pants off of the iPhone camera, which I've been using for all of my performance videos.
It also has timelapse on it, which my wonderful wife listed as her first requirement - as this was her birthday present! It also has audio inputs and outputs and adjustable parameters for the onboard 5.1 microphone.
