Thank you to everyone for your helpful responses!!

Ty – I am grateful for your response. It seems like a good idea to get audio from both a mic on the podium and from the mixer. Given that I have two cameras I can manage this set up. I would like to have a good recording of the questions and the askers will be on camera. There will be a runner to give a mic to the speakers. Unfortunately having the speakers go to one set mic will not be an option. In this case, I assume the audio I get from the mixer will be useful if the buzz is not too great. I can also have the boom operator try and get the boom mic close enough to the askers that this may be useful as well. Does that sound like a good approach?

Is there anything that can be done to reduce the buzz of the sound coming from the mixer?

Thank you very much!
Rebecca

Thank you for your helpful response. I am used to keeping my clip file sizes to around 1GB each when editing SD material with Firewire drives and assumed there was a similar optimal file size limit with minisas drives. What I’m understanding from your response is that you haven’t experienced any problems with HD material that is up to an hour long. I assume then that I should be ok if I’m working with clip file sizes up to around 10GB with my set up?
