I just released my second album (self-release) and I had some trouble with levels. I work with a Roland VS-880EX, and I record a wide variety of instruments, environmental sounds, etc. When I record, I always try to set my gain as high as possible, without digital distortion being present. But I sometimes have a hard time mixing the elements together and keeping a good sound at the really didn't have any good ways to boost them, which necessitated some MacGyver manuevers I would rather not have to repeat in the future. Can someone explain to me how to work with my levels, especially someone who realizes that I am mainly working with the VS-880EX and not having access to much outboard gear like mixing boards, etc..?
I'd be much obliged.
