Has anyone done some recording on their practices? It seems that I spot more mistakes when I play back the recording!

I know what you mean. Last semester I recorded all of my practices the week before my jury, and it really helped. I can especially hear mistakes in interpretation and how the line of the music is played out. I am usually able to hear wrong notes and rhythms, but the more subtle aspects of musicality are more obvious later when listening to the recording.

This is definitely a must. You don't really hear yourself playing for many reasons, and recording is a tremendous help. And the good thing, it works both ways. I was able to spot mistakes, but also I realize once that a high note I thought was out of tune, too flat, was actually perfectly in tune when I checked the recording.

I don't know if this will make sense but I am wondering whether there is such a thing as over-reliance on hearing yourself through a recording.
Sometimes, I am surprised that my 'group' and / or myself sound much better on a recording than what I remembered.. sometimes cringing during the actual performance but turned out fine when listening to the playback. Could accoustics be playing a part? Or that we shouldn't take playbacks (esp. for bigger groups) for granted since audio fidelity could have been compromised due to lack of proper equipment? I know I have been skeptical of self-made recordings because all we have is a small MD recorder.

I think a ballance of using recordings and actually listening during performances helps. When I record my practices, it is just on a portable tape player. I know that the fidelity is aweful, so I don't really judge my tone by it, but I can listen for notes that stick out, and for musicality issues. I also take in to consideration what I hear, and what my teachers and colleagues hear. I don't rely on one method completely.
