I have a decent setup finally at my house.
It's mainly apple and apogee stuff.
I have Misi pickups on my 3 favorite ukes.
For video I use an ipad 2 with a stand so I can see what I'm taping.
I use apogee jam for a direct interface to the ipad apps for best sound or the apogee mic for acoustic and voice. They are both excellent products strictly ios and relatively inexpensive I think I paid 300 for both.
Let's see for apps on the ipad I use loopy hd, and jamup pro both excellent products and quire affordable.
I also use garageband and iMovie on both the ipad and my MacBook Pro,
Even if you are not a Mac user you can use the ipad for all of it including uploading directly to youtube.
Aside from the ipad, I have investd no more than 500 in total for a very nice digital quality home setup. This includes an ipad stand, cables, apps Etc...
I have not used the jam yet for youtube videos but the rest of my videos are all done with this setup, including the apogee mic
Being an IT and gadget guy, I did my research. And the apogee stuff and those apps are out of this world for the price. Also there is an app called chord detector that can give you all the chords for any song in your ipad.
This stuff is self contained in the ipad, it's relatively affordable, it's rock solid, chuck full of features, and relatively easy to use.
Oh some of these apps work together, and I also have a set of 4 airturn pedals.... So I can have an unlimited looper for all digital... Vs. the ditto pedal that sells for 129
