I'll never record again, ever.

It's not about their opinion, it's about them following me around to slam my hearing, my preferences in overdrive, & my crap recording skills (& equipment).

need a break from this thread again, because people aren't reading

Don't let the trolls bring you down ...

Don't worry I hate you too of all my crippled hearts passion and my partly rotten guts, it's nothing personal though, you just disgust me. ;)

Seriously though, if I should be disheartened or discouraged by the amount of haters on the internet I might as well go kill myself.

For the love of it, please do keep up your miserable recording attempts for all the world to hear, whatever their opinions might be about them!

I almost guarantee that if you think it sounds good you will not be the only one in world who thinks so.

Hell, I might even be one of them, as I don't think I am familiar with any of your recordings as of yet.

Anyway, to your question:

The only thing that can discourage me from recording is if I am not able to get a sound that I think sounds good, and even then I record anyway if it is just for the sake of a reference sketch to an idea.

Beside that the only discouraging thing I can think of on top of my head is in the instances that I just keep shaging up on a part to the point of frustration.

Has happened before, I usually just let it rest for a while then and then get back to it when I have gathered my senses back together, or in that case when I was actually playing a part for a record keeped going anyway until I got it, and then let my frustrations out afterward by beating an innocent cardboard box to pulp and shreds :p

Killed by Death - you should continue to record yourself but instead of posting them online, keep them on a USB drive.

Just remember the reason why you picked up a musical instrument in the first place: It was something that you wanted to do, not because the trolls on the internet needed something to pass their time.
