I sound so much better not recorded!

It is surprising to me how many mistakes I make as I listen back on the recording.
I generally play drums from a Yamaha keyboard but sometimes I use a drum track from my recorder (Boss BR864). I like the Boss recorder because it is fairly intuitive to operate and has lots of effects, amplifier modeling and a variety of presets for inputs and mastering. I spend more time recording my playing and less time playing engineer.

You've hit on one of the big benefits of recording...I never realized how bad I sounded until I started recording. Over the years I have corrected a lot of bad habits in my singing and playing, all because I could hear them in recordings. It's challenging and fun, so it has renewed my enthusiasm and the joy of playing my guitars!
