Mike me up, baby!

Well, technically I wasn't miked, but it was something close to that.

Recently, I had a gig involving my high school band, my jazz combo and my concert band. We had a program called "Sessions 2006" that consisted of the bands involved at my high school and putting on a show for the community. It lasted for 3 days. Best time I've had so far in my year :)

After the show, my music teacher (who happens to have ran the show), brought a CD of our performance. He put it into a CD player and played it (duh!) and I was amazed on what we sounded like. The CD picked up stuff that I didn't even hear when I was playing (such as our sax going off time in the solo part of our combo).

The point is that if you EVER have a chance to give yourself feedback on how you're playing, DO IT! It will benefit you in many ways.

Yeah, also when your sitting behind a kit its hard to actually hear whats going on as the drums will usually drown out the guitars and other instruments when youre playing as you usually wont be able to hear other the top of the drums.

Whenever me and my band can record we do, to add to our album or just for feedback.

recording is a great tool. my band records our entire practice every time on a minidisc player. we burn a cd then listen to it between practices. sometimes that can be pretty painful (the listening that is). you can hear all kinds of little mistakes (and flat out f--- ups) you can't hear while you're actually playing.
