Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? Play anyways~ That problem will get better the more you do stuff. Just play, if something is wrong, don't start over just keep playing the section. Go into the midi editor with Reaper when you're done, and fix the problems you played. Some times I have good days, where I can play through full takes of sections of songs. Some times I have bad days where I can barely play one section, and I use the midi editor method to just get stuff down and fix in post.Also midi overdub is your friend. If you mess up after playing for a while, but still need to play more for a song, I go to the end of the project, and just play from where I left off.But it's all just getting stuff recorded, you need to work through that by powering through first and foremost, but hope my tips help.

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? @ thatguy thanks for the post, I'll need to try this out, although it may not work because I would know that I still need to play well if I wanted to press shift r. But I'll look in to it. Thanks.

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? Well, this, let's call it a recording anxiety is completely real thing and quite a nasty bastard! Some people have it more, some less or even not at all. My experience has shown, that the more you record, the less it gets and one day may be as well gone completely. So yeah, press that rec button and play and if you mess up: hmm - hit undo, shout and curse some and go again. Also don't be shy to feel good and proud of yourself after a good take. It applyes to both pro and beginner types. So even if you have recorded hundreds of tracks, it's still important to get that warm rush and feeling of accomplishment.

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? If you are using logic, if you can play fine without recording, what you can actually do is rewind all the way to the beginning of your project by pressing enter, then press space. As long as you can play along with the metronome at least without getting nervous, you can do this. So after you press space to start playback of the click, and whatever you have recorded so far, play what you can't when you record. When you're done, press space again, then press shift R. This actually is kind of a feature built for people who have this problem, as well as people who might get a good idea while playing along to a track, then completely forget it a few seconds later. Anyway, what shift R will do is capture the notes you were just playing, and save them just like you recorded them. And the best part about this is you don't have to press shift R until you get it right, so it's worth trying. If you are using reaper, I might recommend playing whatever you're having a problem with in logic, then exporting it as a midi file then putting it into reaper. Does that help at all?

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? Well, you can use step recording in reaper which allows you to record one note at a time. Plus, just like ironcross mentioned you can easily correct your mistakes by editing the notes using the midi editor. Also, just think about having fun with what you're doing and try not to pressure yourself.

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? At iron cross I have that problem as well although not as bad, I can get through recordings and voice act pretty well when after a few tries.As for what I'm usingfor music, real instruments which I can handle, and I have logic and reaper.s URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/420147/#p420147 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? Well, part of it is just performance anxiety, which I can't give any advice on how to fix. What I can say though is that you can edit the mistakes out of the midi data, you can move notes around, basically arrange the piece, so it doesn't matter if you play wrong notes if you then go in and fix it.I get a similar thing if I have to talk into a voicemail, or if I have to talk on the mic when making a recording. IT gets like more difficult to breathe, my throat feels tight, etc. URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/420146/#p420146 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
Re: A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? I don't know what you are using, so I can't really give you step by step instructions, but if you are good with musical notations you could use step recording.

A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help?
A huge problem for me recording and composing music, any help? So I have a good idea, an awesome idea. I get ready to start working on it. I do quite well playing it out on the keybord after a little wile. But as soon as I hit that record button and start playing the notes on my midi keybord, it all comes crashing down, mistake after mistake. And yet when I don't record? I can do quite well, so well infact that I want to record, than I start recording, and mistakes are soon to folow, causing me after some time to lose motivation to continue the project. How on earth can I make my music, when my hands screw up when I press that record button. I can play other instruments fine, a lot better infact than the piano. But as soon as that button gets pressed? It all goes out the window, a little less with other instruments, which I have spent less time with.Is there any way to get around this. I know it has to do with me and something that starts going on in my head once the recording starts. But that's all. I've been set back years because of this, I think, which is unfortunate to say the least. Trying till I get it won't work here.
