Pretty disappointing video. It's actually only about 25 minutes long, and the content is at the most basic level and somewhat repetitive. It does cover the basics reasonably well, like what types of microphones are available and how to get them connected for recording, and the content is well shot with nice sound. Still, hearing "remember, you'll need your XLR to stereo mini adapter" 4 or 5 times didn't add a whole lot of value. I thought the sections on trouble shooting would be more helpful, but again mostly basic stuff like "check your cables". I'd only recommend this to someone who needs an absolute beginners intro.
This DVD is too short and doesn't teach you much. Most of the time is spent on showing you how to connect your microphone to your camcorder. Money is better spent on the VASST audio DVDs.
