  1. Hi.

    I've only had stage fright for approx. 5 minutes, before I just enjoyed it. I usually play guitar on stage.

    I still got/get very nervous the last minutes before going on stage, and fells like I have to pee the whole time.

    But I have learned to use that nervousness to pump myself up the last minutes before going on, jumping up and down, and playing on my guitar while banging for myself.

    As soon as I connect the cable, and have sound, the nervousness is totally gone, and I just look forwards to being on stage again.

    As mentioned earlier, if I do make a mistake, I just laugh at it and continue. It happens that I look around to see if anyone noticed it, but I've gotten past the error already when I start looking at the audience, and get back to enjoying it. A wrong note(s) (IMO) doesn't take away from a whole performance live.

    It's my favorite place to be.

    Not sure if I've been of any help, but just rambled.

    All the best.

    Latency? As in how far from the speakers?  If so...

    • The speed of sound is 343 meters per second. 
    • Latency = distance  / speed of sound

    Guitar players can usually live with a few ms (2-5ms), so in round numbers; 

    • 1m ~ 3ms
    • 2m ~ 6ms  
    • = something similar to performing on larger stages. 

    Apparently there is a claim that humans can perceive 0.5ms

    Bass players...? 

    ...

    Obsessive tone freaks (i.e. guitar players) might be more concerned with the capacitance of longer instrument cables.  I've heard discussions favoring 2m or less.  

    This is what I use myself, plus/minus 0.5 meters or so.

    (I make my own cables)

    I have sketchy memories of Amsterdam... 😜

    (And a vague recollection of a tour of the Heinken Brewery...)

    I have a few vague memories, but no sketchy ones.

    I do have some actual memories as well.

    The Heineken brewery is nice 👌 

    (I have a few pictures in my head (and been told some) from when I visited the Old Jameson distillery in Dublin. That was a hard one!)
