Is that right?

In a way yes. If you go to my webpage and just listen to a snippet of each song, you would hear a wide variety of screw-ups. In some the vocals are too out front, some not enough. Some sound too treble-y and some sound too bass-y. Three of the songs (2, 3, and 4) were recorded with a different setup and could be ignored. In many of these, it's a single take, guitar and vocals with separate mics but recorded simultaneously. With Thief in the Night, I did layering, but still did the acoustic rhythm concurrent with vocals. My plan is to separate each out in the future.
By choosing better keys for my singing, working on clearer recordings for each layer, and EQing and compression, I hope to get a much better recording.
Please understand, I am certainly no professional player, singer, or mixer. I just do this for family and friends to "enjoy".
