I stumbled upon this thread and will ask a couple questions BEFORE I start looking for answers within this forum. Sorry if the answers are right under my nose – as they usually seem to be!

I’m a piano player looking to use UStream to broadcast live piano/voice performances. When I’m home, I’ll do this from my living room, but it’s also important for me to be able to set up a portable broadcast when I travel.

Also, I’m interested in producing pre-recorded as well as live piano tutorials.

My laptop info:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz

Re: AUDIO, I will sacrifice video for great sound. At home I have access to great mics, but on the road, I’d like something portable and sturdy.

Re: VIDEO…don’t know where to begin! If using iSight is possible, I’d begin there. If however, there are other affordable options, I’d consider a better camera.

Any suggestions for a quick start-up studio? Forgive me if there is a better place to post this question. Advise me!

Thanks,
Paul
