Of course, I've been reading some guides before taking a leap, but I still have to learn a lot. I'm working on the first recording and the sound is so bad I don't know what to do. When I'm trying to simply make the channel louder in my software, I can clearly hear the artifacts (camera clicks and such). But in its original state, it's almost a whisper. Otherwise, the video itself looks decent after digitizing.
Has anyone tried to use VideoLouder? Or any other sound processor? Any recommendations?
