"Recording Fever" is the only type of fever that can be healed with practice and experience!
 However unless you have born without it you will keep some symptoms for many time.. or maybe forever... That's my experience, nowadays I feel much more comfortable when I'm recording but in my beginnings it was very difficult to play perfect when the REC button was turned on.That's why the REC program is also very effective! Nowadays I make my private students learn one song every 2/3 months and we record/film to let them have the experience of being at the studio. Check out some videos... -------------------- My lessons

I am happy to say I don't have this problem... my playing sounds awful whether the camera is on or off!

) If you watch the REC you will see me give a "thumbs up" at the end. Doing multiple takes, this was my way to let me know it was satisfactory. I now wish I would have waited another 2 seconds so it wouldn't show up on the recording.
I hope it's a simple fix.

I guess we all suffer from this from time to time. The funny thing with me is, when we play live, normally I am not nervous at all, no matter if it is 1000, 10000 or 100000 people in front of the stage. But when it comes to recording and that stupid little red light lights up... this can make me very nervous
I can't even really explain why I am nervous when it comes to recording, of course I want to deliver a good take, but I want to do the same when we are on stage, and as mentioned there I am not nervous at all, the adrenalin rush might play a part here, don't know... But well, what can we do to work against this? One thing is to be prepared as good as possible of course. If you know your parts and you practice them well before entering the studio then there is one point less to worry about. Going to the studio KNOWING that you still have problems with a couple of licks, riff or leads wont really make you play relaxed. Creating a nice atmosphere is another thing. If you feel good you will play better. The most important lesson I had to learn though is that you can't force things. At some point you will just have to accept that it is not your day, and that it is much better to end a session and come back fresh and relaxed on the next morning. This once happened to me during one of the Blind Guardian recordings (can't exactly remember which one). I had to record a song, and it just was not happening at all, for whatever reason. I played several takes, but none was really good and everything was only getting worse. So at some point we started punching in and out, trying to glue together something that was working, so after several hours we had something that we thought would be ok. On the next morning we checked what I recorded the day before and it sounded absolutely horrible! I told our engeneer to delete everything, played the whole thing once and had a great take, end of story

Well, we are only humans, and we tend to have bad days from time to time. So what can you do? Of course having such a day in an expensive studio is pretty bad timing, but well, things like this happen.
