    Quick question - of those who play an instrument, how many record their own playing to listen back to? I find it helpful, and am curious to see if anyone else does.

    I wouldnt actually record myself but i would record others, particularly a tune that I want to learn, using a minidisc recorder..

    I do all the time. It's great because when you play it back you can hear clearly what mistakes your playing!

    I was just thinking of setting something up to start recording what I'm playing. Think it would be helpful! Can you suggest what I could set up to do this? I know a minidisk was mentioned.. is the quality on the playback ok?
    :D

    MiniDisk should be grand, or an mp3/iPod type gadget with microphone - probably a little better.

    Be warned though, a lot of Irish music has a range that causes problems - be prepared for some dodgy sounding high notes.

    Those mp3 yokes are actually c r a p enough for recording. Mini disc is fantastic. Especially if you buy a decent microphone. Sony do one for around 100 beans especially for minidisc a little stereo mike, bout the same length as a biro but much thicker. It's brilliant quality and fantastic for recording acoustic gigs because you get the stereo placement of all the musicians.
