If you want video, you’ll need a camera that takes a stereo input from your mixer’s output. If you’re gonna play to a backing track, then that music needs to feed into your mixer along with your drums.
What I did for
this test video is:
- Play the backing track in software on a computer
- The backing track was sent to my headphones through my mixer
- Record my drums through the mixer
- Send the mixed audio of drums + backing track from a stereo output from the mixer to Left & Right audio inputs on the video camera (Sony EX-1 in this example).
The resulting video did not need any editing or audio alignment. It was finished “in camera”.
