A suggestion :was: From Hawkwind

[Colin J Allen]

I don't.  Someone else has access to state of the art video editing
equipment and that is their job (thankfully!).

However, it is something that I have been considering for other bands where
we are not so fortunate and my idea is to have the drummer give one sharp
tap on the snare about 1 minute before the set starts.  I should then be
able to align this peak on the multitrack with the peak in the 2 track, then
mute the 2 track; hopefully, we should then be left with synchronised
multitrack recording.  At least that is the theory!  Failing that, I will
have to investigate the use of time codes.
