Premiere is a decent sound editor, with lots of filtering
available, and lots of tracks to use for mixing. Sound can
be fed to a sound card, recorded as WAV, and brought into
Premiere - or if you record with the camcorder, you can
throw out the picture and mix in the new sound captured in
the FireWire signal. BTW, Cool Edit (www.syntrillium.com)
is a wonderful cheap WAV editor that allows noise-reduction,
peak-limiting and compression, and other useful
sound-modifiers for video work. Assuming you can output
by FireWire back to tape in the camera, the audio and video
output of Premiere will play just fine from the camera on
a TV with standard audio and video inputs...
