It happens to most of us at some point. When the recording buttong goes on, we suddenly can't play something that we can normally sail through with ease.

We know why this is.. it's just good, old fashioned pressure. Pressure to get it right, so we mess it up because we're so over focused on it.

It happens to me mostly when I'm recording solos. Sometimes I can keep going and work through the frustration to eventually get a good take but mostly, I have to stop and calm down.

How about you ? How do you deal when recording fever hits ? Do you just grind your teeth, swear a few times and keep going or do you take a break before having another go ?
