Yeah, I use a Tascam DP-004. Not sure how I'd be able to sync that to anything.

Hit a note on a keyboard/drum machine within shot of recorded video and then sync the video up to the audio by eye afterwards. That's how most people do it.

Ok, pardon the relatively bad sound quality - it's from a webcam:

Yeah I actually just realized what you guys were saying - next time I record a track, I'll try and sync it up with the video.

Is there really no all in one screen capture program?
It seem bizarre that you have to do post syncing given the number of poeple doing tuts?

It's easy on Mac, but not really possible on PC unless you use something like loopback on an RME interface. Even then you don't get separate channels for voice and DAW.

Camtasia (PC/Mac) does simultaneous screen capture, system audio, and mic audio, but it's expensive ($300).

Except that most of the time it doesn't.
It's supposed to, but it has a hard time with ASIO.

I've never owned it, so I wasn't aware of that. I've contemplated it a few times, but wouldn't use it enough to justify the cost. Good to know that it's probably not worth the price anyway.

There are some workaround if you have the right type of audio interfaces, but again you're back to having system and voice on the same audio track which isn't ideal.
There are also routing programs that allow you to record separate streams from various sources but that still won't allow Camtasia (for example) to see ASIO properly. It's something to do with the way audio is handled in Windows.
The easiest solution is to run your DAW with a generic driver (which Camtasia will pick up), use ASIO to record voice into something like Audacity and then reimport the voice back into Camtasia for editing.
Or use a USB mic that doesn't use ASIO.
It's one of the reasons I bought a Macbook

So if I want to do a demo, but only use the wimpy camera mic for my voice and have it muxed with an audio recording later on, so you hear my voice over and the main mix in the same video, what do I need?

Well you'll have to use headphones so the camera mic doesn't pick up that audio.
Any video editor should be able to mix the audio from the DAW render back in, just make sure you give yourself a cue to sync to at the start (edit that bit out later)

So, basically, use a free screen capture program like CamStudio instead of Camtasia, and do the exact same thing while saving $300? :p
