More recording

I have been recording myself almost every day for over a month now, with Audacity, and it definitely has been getting easier. There is still a long ways to go, but I might eventually get there.

The main problem I had, and still sometimes have, with recording, is that knowing I am being recorded makes me tense. The same thing happens when I am called on for a break at a jam session. Something I could play well when relaxed gets all mangled by the muscle tension.

It seems to me that recording yourself a lot for a while can fix this problem.

I also feel that recording myself and then listening carefully to the recordings is making my playing better.

And now I can do multi-track recordings, which means I can hear how my backup playing sounds, so I can work on improving it. And I can work on improving my singing at the same time. I even got my fiddle out one day and added fiddle tracks. Unfortunately, I just don't have time to work on my fiddle playing.

The only trouble with recording is it takes a lot of time. I have been waking up at 4 am to have time for it, in addition to my regular practice. I can't keep doing that forever.
