Sure, if you want to be a professional audio engineer, then that line probably gets blurred a little, but for doing decent demo recordings, marrying them to video, etc, etc - there's really not that much to it (particularly when compared to dealing with Oracle).
When it comes to recording separate audio and video here's how I do it (I'm doing this to show how simple it can be, not saying you should do exactly this):
Step 1: record (in 1 take) audio with a zoom portable recorder and video with a portable video camera.
Step 2: using Vegas, start a project and load the 2 files.
Step 3: Activate the pluraleyes plugin for Vegas. This is a plugin which will automatically sync the audio and video.
Step 4: export the video.

Sounds easy enough. What flavor of Vegas? I notice there's a few. Also how intelligent is the plugin to where it actually knows how to sync the video? Is it based on timing, that is when the video starts? Because the audio and video essentially start at the same time it syncs that way?
