I got myself a “pedal looper” and hooked it to a sound board. With the foot switch I can immediately play back to myself up to five minutes of recording and play over it if need be and apply successive layers if I want. The fiddle is a different when it’s not under your chin. I use it to compare fiddles, bows and to hear myself. It’s brutal, humbling and unkind and really good for me. Also play very very slowly; it so instructive and it helps work up bow control. I also put all my current play along tracks on my Zoom2n recorder so I can load the looper and record myself playing along. Recording is so very helpful!
