The good news about video editing is that I can take the audio from
another version (my version perhaps, or another version) and mix that
with your video footage (providing it's better of course). I've had
some experience now with syncing audio so that shouldn't be an issue
as I'm getting a lot better at it.

And yeah, I can capture the audio from the one and the video from the
other for the LA show and see how it comes out. I can also make sure
you get the results of my labors back.

I'll email you my mailing address. You'll want to add tracking on it
just in case.

Thanks Mick.
