As soon as you start to record yourself playing the guitar or any other instruments, your nose or other parts of your face start to itch?

Don't you hate that.

Ok, back to your regular scheduled program.
 
Or you mess up one of the easiest parts of the song, like playing the wrong chord
 
OR,

You do a "perfect" take only to discover that you pressed PLAY only -- EYyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oooh yes, had that a few times. whats worse is when the guitarist or whoever says they want to hear it through, you play it and then they think you were recording it and get really angry at you. Blah!
 
Just tell them, that wasn't the one or blame it on computer error :)
 
I was in a zone when I did a great take the other day, only to realize my damn cat was meowing a few feet from the mic. Let's just say he took a shower.

LMAO which is why i don't allow pets in my domain. :)
 
... or that you were tapping the beat with your foot, and your foot was next to the mic stand... (now I gate/EQ the lower frequencies out so it doesn't matter, but was this frustrating on some earlier recordings!)
 
What about when you're mixing a song and you have to play it over and over and over and over for days sometimes. I'm sure my neighbors must think I'm crazy. Not to mention how it drives the rest of the people in the house nutts also.
 
what about having a room 30 yards from the highway.......late morning/early afternoon recordings are possible.....after that..all other recording must be done after 11.

or the ever annoying ring of the doorbell, cell phone, house phone 30 seconds before the end of the track.

or if you forget to turn off your AOL Instant Messenger and someone sends you an IM.

dont you hate it when you drop your pick half way through the take?
 
Haha these are all hallarious!

What about that magical rehersal take you wish you had recorded. Gone forever.

Just take a sample and loop it. Meow city.

I used to have a BIG RED LIGHT above my door along with a sign that said.. IF THE RED LIGHT IS ON DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR! MAKE NO SOUND! and of course. Knocks on the door, people coming to the window and waving, man I am gald I moved.
 
in the middle of recording a good take and the power goes out. no thunderstorms in the area or anything.....the power just went out.

the lesson learned from that is to save your work after each take even if you dont plan on keeping it. AND!!


Dont whiz on the electric fence!!!!!!

That's me!


...my cat has a fetish for plastic bags, she loves eating them,& sleeping on them...she often appears on my recordings rustling around...bitch
 
at least the cats dont get into a fight during recording....that always sounds fun.
 
Or... your ass of a friend wont shut his drunk mouth during the session
 
the little goddamn bells my fiance put around our cats necks have ruined many a good take for me! little bastards . . .i love em!
