I just got a new DV video camera, and I am trying to figure the best way of recording the audio - how do you guys do it? I have a mixer that my guitar, microphone, PC etc feeds into, I want to get that audio onto the video.

As far as I can see, there are 4 options, but they all have flaws:

1. Use the built in mic - quality sucks
2. Connect a line to the mic-in socket from the mixer - doesn't work too well, because I am going from a line-level to a mic-level with DC offset problems causing weird pops an such
3. Find a piece of software that will capture the video from the camera, and the audio from the sound card - I have played with Adobe Premiere elements but can't get this to work - any other software that will do this?
4. Capture audio and video separately, then try to line them up - I tried this and ran into sync problems - I used Premiere for video and cubase for audio.

Can anyone make any other suggestions? Or tell me how you do it?

Thanks!
