Fish'N'Wolfe: I've heard good things about Final Cut Pro. And, sure, if I had a fistful of free dollars laying around, or chose not to pay my mortgages or feed my kids, I'd gladly pick up a copy today. :p But, it's going to be guerilla-style filmmaking for me for now, and I'll make do with...

Buck Beaver: I'm following one of the latest concepts promoted by the great George Lucas (a personal hero of mine- go ahead and insert groans, gawks, and "Lucas raped my childhood by making the prequels/special editions" comments here): Shoot a television show using the latest consumer-grade...

Buck Beaver: Since most DV cameras have one single audio track when they record, aren't you only going to have one single combined track, no matter how many audio sources you input? (I know that both of mine do, unless I missed something in the manual. And mine are as consumer-level as they...

Let us know how it turns out.

gfarkwort: What I'll be doing is using my Sound Blaster Platinum setup to give each mic it's own, separate input. Then I'll be running each source into it's own track in either Adobe Premiere Pro, Pinnacle Studio Mediasuite, or Sony Vegas and mix the tracks there. (I use all three for...

My claim to fame? Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Nothing national or global, I guess. But I am hoping to gain notoriety by June of this year with the help of my best friend Fozzie Bear. Been on local television a little, but mainly because of the trial. I'm kidding. The trial was a...

That sounds like a good offer for the specs shown. Heck, I'd buy it! You'll just need to add your wireless mic, or corded mic. (There's the link to a reasonably-priced wireless one, but you may want to shell out a bit more and get something a little better.) And you could still hook up...

Actually, you could input it into your DV camera, but you won't have the multitrack mixing capabilities because all of the mic inputs would be combined to just one digital audio track on your camera. (Plus, you'd also have the limitations of max frequencies your camera can record.) This is why...

Low end- You could probably find a Karaoke system for pretty cheap at places like Sam's, Wal-Mart, or Target. It'll have mixing capabilities mixed in. Only downside is the lack of the wireless mic, which you could get for anywhere from around $40 to $300, depending on what you're wanting...

My problem isn't from lack of strength.... It's from osteo arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. (Yes, I got the double whammy of bad genetics and 15 years at a computer keyboard.) Has anyone ever devised some sort of rigging to help alleviate the problems of keeping a puppet over your...

What kind of price range are you going for, and just what degree of portability are you wanting? (i.e.- Battery operated amplification? Wireless systems? Venue size requirements? 5.1? Multichannel/Mixing capabilities? etc.)

I bought "Fraggle Rock" for my daughter for Christmas. OK, OK... So I really bought it more for myself, but don't tell my wife that! Anyway, I'm thrilled to see that my four-year-old youngling has taken to the series just like her old man. But, for me, seeing it again was like running into...

I'll save you the typing, Fozzie. :excited: We just found these on Amazon last night. After doing a bit of research, I decided it would be worth the investment. Hisonic System Of course, I then found it for a bit less here. I'm not going to worry with it for the $18 difference...

I always thought of the PIS movie would lay somewhere between Galaxy Quest and Spaceballs. (I was really disappointed when they made Muppets in Space. I thought then that they were going to make the PIS movie. Here's to hoping.) Look, just make PIS a spoof of the entire Star Wars Saga...

The "Saying Goodbye" song from MTM was a boo-hooer.... But it was nothing in comparison to Bob, Gordon, Maria, and the others explaining Mr. Hooper's death on Sesame Street.
