Hi,
I was looking for some advice on recording my piano performances onto youtube, I currently record my performances on a canon compact camera. The picture is great, however the built in mic is not so great, its acceptable but could perhaps be better.
Therefore I am looking at creating videos that are better in sound quality, the picture quality is fine and I can stick to my camera for that. I just wanted to know what I should do.
Get a high end mic perhaps to record the sound seperately? I have been told this is the best idea. Would I need 2 to get stereo sound, or is that not needed for youtube? I dont wish to spend too much on a mic either, I heard Samson do some good condenser mics that are a must for piano sound.
I also heard about the Zoom H2 and the quality is meant to be excellent. Also there is the blue snowball I have heard about, which sounds ideal. These are probably too much money though, not sure.
Basically I need an in-expensive set-up where I can record the video with my current camera, and sound from a different high quality source such as a high end mic.
Thanks, please help.

Be sure to check out this thread under "Member Recording" forum http://www.pianoworld.com/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/29/298.html Also the Adult Beginner Forum "Important Topics..."thread has a lot of info there because people participate in the online recitals. Check that forum, maybe also the Piano forum, I thought some PW posters have tried some of the cameras you have mentioned.
