I just got a Zoom Q3HD from garywj today and I will say it's really nice and works great. My problem is I've tried it numerous times and as soon as the camera is on record I become a bundle of nerves and can't do it. I did about 15 takes and every time I would screw up somewhere in the song and stressed out to the max. I can play this song I'm trying to do all day and rarely make a mistake and as soon as I hit record it's all over but the crying. I am so mad at myself right now. I've made videos before and did all right but still pretty nervous and would make a mistake here and there but nothing like this. I am playing in the bathroom because it's quiet and the acoustics are better but I don't normally play in there and maybe that's part of the problem. I try not to think about the record being on but it doesn't work. I am so upset with myself that I took a Xanax hoping to calm myself down enough to do a recording. I take Xanax at bedtime for sleep not because I'm a nervous or anxious person so I don't understand why I have such a problem with it. I'm going to try again in a little bit after the Xanax kicks in and see how I do then. Can anyone help me??? I'm at my wits end as to what to do about it and have nowhere else to turn but the UU to ask what's wrong with me. Please help if you can with whatever suggestions you can to help me with this. Thank you for any help. I've decided to try it in my bedroom where I normally play and see how that goes here in a few.
