My question is in regards to videos taken during shows. I purchased a Nikon D-7000 with intentions on building a rail system for shooting concert/gig videos. Where I am stumped is tieing the sound from the live board to the video. Forums and instruction on doing so say to simply go from the record out on what ever main mixer you are your to the 1/8" microphone jack on the video system and shazzam its works. But I have yet to set this up properly. How does your crew handle getting quality sound to video at live concerts? I am guessing you use timecoded video/sound. But I am curious.

What direction would you give to someone in awe of what you do, but who has never work in you field and wants to be good at it like you are?
