I had my zoom q3 repaired the other week... I setup the camera and left it near my kit for a 4 hr gig.
What I saw when I watched it the next day was quite bad...
Mistakes all round. Singers out of tune, people forgetting parts, band speeding up, slowing down (sometimes my fault, sometimes not). The audience were having fun and I know that's the important thing but holy moly... it's just like the first time I ever filmed myself practising at home - I thought I was much better, I thought we were much better.
I wonder if I should just quit now, or show the video to someone or just press on in denial. I have had quite a few experienced musos tell me that it doesn't matter how well you play and that no one cares, I just can't see how you could be happy with that and I hope I don't become like them!
