I am not really a studio player but I have acquired a few toys and use Logic (I do a lot of video and voiceover stuff for work). My wife sings with my band sometimes and wanted to do "It Must've Been the Roses" and wanted something to practice to in the car so I recorded a rough version without vocals.

I was having a slow day at work and was doing some soundtrack stuff for a video and slapped this together. The vocals are pretty rough as I did them in one take while our upstairs office tenant was out. I was missing my guitar synth cable so I drew the B3 part in a midi editor so it's pretty simple. The bass is my '73 P-Bass plugged into the DA converter and an amp plugin from Logic. I made a simple drum loop and threw in some hi hat and toms with a Roland SPD 20 - I couldn't get the midi out to work so I couldn't clean it up in the midi editor so it's drums played by a guitar player
I have always had problems mixing down so that it doesn't sound wimpy at lower volumes - any ideas? The acoustic guitars recorded pretty well but I'm always looking for ideas to get a better result. I used a AKG B3000 large diaphragm mic pointed at about the 14th fret. I used my Taylor 810 for the two guitar tracks during the verses and my Dell Arte Hommage for the solo. I used some reverb on the guitars and vocals, no compression, very little EQ. Let me know what you all think.
