The cheapest route would probably to get a Mac computer and use iMovie a program that comes with all Macs).  Also for Macs is editing software called "Final Cut Pro."  It's very expensive ($1200) but it's what the pros use.

The biggest mistake you can make here is to stick with one brand- that doesn't always provide you with best results, as some manufacturers excel at making one product but not another.\n\nMost professional grade AV equipment is compatible with other brands.\n\nA really great source is Guitar Center (guitarcenter.com) or Musician's Friend (musiciansfriend.com) which is actually owned by Guitar Center.\n\nShure manufacture great microphones, wireless mics and receivers.  As for your speakers and amps, the best brand is better determined by the purpose you are needing the equipment- outdoor? indoor?  do they need to be weather proof?\n\nAs for the camera, try crutchfield.com.  Not only do they sell great brands, but their support staff are extremely competent with answering questions.

I had to take a few of mine to a local recording studio...most of them have the technology to do it! Good luck!

I would recommend using the free "Audacity." You will, obviously, need a microphone as well.\n\nHere is Audacity's website: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Your best bet is to contact a company that specializes in this sort of thing. I've got a number of websites below that you could start with which would explain and provide links to helpful information.\n\nThere is software, but hardware is also needed. It is available in the USA, but I can't speak for the rest of the world.

Add a video capture card to your computer.  Or you can pay someone to do it.

You need a video card that can support video editing. Maybe an ATI all-in-wonder video card will do. You can also use a PCI card that supports video editing. Your RCA jack can be use to connect to those type of cards.

a camcorder I presume...You should have bought or maybe it came with A/V cables, USB cables  something that connects your camcorder to your computer so you can play them to PC.

Try Sony's SoundForge.  A lot of home 'Do It Yourself' types use it.

I work at a community station and there is a room full of machinery that I don't understand.\nBut basically, you need a microphone, two CD players, if you're playing recorded interviews you need a minidisc or DAT player, or an audio file system like Raduga on a computer. You would also need adobe audition to edit. If you're DJing you need two turntables and a mixer. You also need a main mixing desk, for all the different feeds. Then you need a transmitter and an antenna.

WOW, i am also a fan of Adobe audition and have used it for sound mixing and dubbing of a DV movie.\nFirst of all, u need a decent sound card, (i had Creative sound blaster). And , u said it right, headset mic produces noise which when reduced produces distortion.. I used a low noise and highly directional Mic fromSony (i am sry i dont remember the exact model). However if u are going to make a professional music , i think u sud search some models with high sensitvity, and for brand Sony is the best.

Difficult to write all the steps down here, but you can have a look at the following for some guidance (currently under development...) http://www.cassette2cd.co.uk/DIY/how_to.htm This is certainly 'do-able', if you have the patience....\nYou will need a cassette player (!), PC with a stereo input to soundcard, conversion software and CD writer.\nNote: if you are using a laptop, you may need a USB external soundcard (mine has only a mono mic input – not good enough!) – you can get cheap, simple but effective ones (from Hong Kong) via ebay…\nYou could get someone to do it for you, there are plenty to choose from out on the web, this type of job is perfect for a 'virtual' studio.\nThe software is probably the thing you really want to know about.. you will find loads out there. Personally I use Magix Audio Cleaning Lab – primarily produced for lifting vinyl, but will take any analogue signal. It has loads of features including cleaning filters, effects and editing… it’s cheap too and even comes with a stereo cable – try ebay. There are loads more, some even free downloads (audacity avaiable from download.com)– listen to folks who have used the software then have a go….\nOh yeah, and Magix has automatic track recognition based on silence between tracks and auto-stop recording so you can go out for the day and it will stop at the end of your tape – really useful!! You will use up loads of hard-drive space, so don’t try this if you are pushed for space…You may need to purge the huge files every so often (10MB per minute WAV files, 1MB per minute MP3). You could save some space recording directly into MP3 at the sacrifice of a little sound quality
