drink water and beer...

I figure you have to have catchy subjects to draw attention so this was my stab at it...But I am interested in finding out if there are some general principles to mixing sequenced, synth module music that differs from live instrument recordings? I am a keyboardists who does a lot of digital music and want to know what things I should be looking out for when finding "placement" and instrument volume in my musc. If there are any other sites or just general info, all would be humbly appreciated...
In advance, Thanx!

If anyone is interested in a listen to see what I am talking about:

I'm at work and can't listen to your stuff right now. In general the biggest mistake most keyboard players make is NOT recording their parts like they are regular acoustic instruments. A lot of your process will just depend on what gear you have to work with.

In general-
Record mono tracks and pan them in the mix instead of the fake stereo that most keyboards put out
Record different parts to their own audio tracks
Process with something other than the keyboards effects unless the effect is integral to the patch
Don't overdue the effects
