Listen back for musical balance
Whenyou can play a passage through
Record a short passage. Listen once for whether the melody can be heard over the backing, or whether one note or syllable jumps out. Change one volume relationship and record again.
Start tiny
Record and compare one phrase.
When it slips
Solo melody only? Compare note-to-note loudness. Keep the check to one musical question.
