ProTools very effective for practicing. Particularly, recording self then slowing down the recording to find flaws. In this way, problems can be pinpointed quite accurately, leading to a quick solution. A great way to practice.

Recently, I've been thinking of balancing teaching and performing. Lately, it's a little heavy on the teaching side...so, time to perform more.

Greetings,
I hve the same problem. When I am only teaching it gets harder and harder to sustain x number of hours per day on top of my regular job. My recnet backsliding wa ssaved by quite a few unexpected gigs. Back to getting up at 4.30. Yawn.
Cheers,
Buri

Yes. Getting up early is one solution, at least for getting more practice time in. I've found that with a proper diet (meaning mostly no American poison- wink) and exercise I don't need so much sleep. I'm comfortable with 5-6 hours.
