Thanks, pretty sure I'd read your article sometime in the past. Not sure why Google didn't pull it up this time. Part of the beauty of digital recording is that you can always be rolling and not have to worry about the expense of tape. Bits are free and infinitely reusable.

I have found that I've always had trouble with red light fever. If I can't do a recording well in the first few takes, it's because I have not done my homework, I've not practiced enough. I, too, have found that recording is very good practice for playing in front of others. For me it's the same kind of stress. But when I am very well practiced, the stress pretty much goes away.

For me, recording introduces a stress/pressure .if I am sufficiently well-rehearsed this is not an issue. If I'm not, I might get a good take anyway but I couldn't count on it.

When I was in my recording mode, I looked at it like shooting a scene of a movie. Though your attention is on what is happening as you watch a scene, we all know that there are twenty people behind the camera doing various jobs. That helped me understand that there aren't rules so much as the results are what is important. I used to just do multiple takes and then go through them later. Cutting and pasting was just another tool. A person does let their guard down when they know that most of the takes are going in the trash. It's not a do or die type of thing.

I agree that practice is key I was at a seminar by Chris Proctor and he said
"amateurs practice until they get it right ,,pros practice until they can't get it wrong." ................... For me (perhaps because I gigged for years before trying to record) I think recording " Red Light Fever" is more pronounced than "Live Stage Fright". Live I was almost always able to cover an minor flub BUT in recording even the slightest flub literally SCREAMS "mistake LOOK LOOK mistake " That said I also agree with the suggestion to just practice recording

I've been taking voice lessons for a few months now and I will also get nervous to sing in front of my teacher, she's also very encouraging and says, she would not let me go perform somewhere if she didn't think I was ready. She did tell me not to book Carnegie Hall or the Grand Ole Opry just yet

I call this REDLIGHTITUS
The more you do it, (record) the less you care. And last time we were in the studio, we didn't let the other guitarist know we were recording, and by cracky, he usually made far less mistakes. still made some, but, once he new the red light was on, man, he'd turn into a puddle
