ORIGINAL: Grisha Wow! Thanks you guys! I don't worry about my hands, it's always my head... and nerves. Any tips on how to deal with stage fright, especially right before coming out on stage? There is always a 3-5 minute space where you can't play and just wait for the announcer to finish. I can offer no advice. It has been decades since I performed for an audience of any size. But I will say you really impressed me in the master class the last time you were in Austin. I have been to more than a few master classes over the years, but I had never seen a teacher address the problem of nerves directly. Usually they try not to comment on the issue, but attempt by various tactics to put the student at ease. The youngest and least experienced student clearly was nervous. When she finished, your first utterance was, "You're were nervous, weren't you?" She admitted she was. You proceeded to give her some good advice. I thought, "Good for you, Grisha, addressing the issue directly and giving advice." The student seemed to be grateful. RNJ

I use my Logitech 920 webcam. It works great for online lessons. Just is terrible for recording. I have a Behringer mixer and Neumann, AKG and Октава mics. It's just they are all stored as I have been preparing to move for the last year or so. I also travel all the time, so my equipment is not with me. And anyhow, I never really learned to record well. I experimented quite a bit, but never really found the perfect setup. By the way, I downloaded the Foro article some time ago, but it did not clear everything up for me. You should switch to the C930e Logitech webcam, Grisha. It is much better in my opinion with the super-wide angle view (which captures the entirety of the guitar rather than a segment of it). That makes it much easier for online lessons so you don't have to move or re-adjust the camera. The best software I found to go along with that is Webcam Companion 4 because the C930e is a "business" model & therefore it does not come bundled with software (and Logitech Webcam Software does not work well with it). For the mic, I find the best setup for simplicity, portability, and quality is the MXL .009 USB microphone. Just plug & play, and it integrates with your current Logitech camera & software, as well as with the C930e & Webcam Companion 4. I totally understand your practicality issues & I was confident you had great mics but you don't use them for the reasons you mentioned. I found that to be a barrier which got in the way of me making decent recordings, so I switched to the MXL .009 USB microphone and I never looked back... http://www.amazon.com/MXL-USB-24BIT-96KHZ-Condenser/dp/B001CJ45KY/ref=sr_1_1?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1426447896&sr=1-1&keywords=mxl+.009 Olé!
