I've referred to this before, a post by Doug Young talking about the advice he was given by a respected pro: http://69.41.173.82/forums/showpost....9&postcount=10
The first 7 points are all related to the sound that hits the microphone and in fact the 8th refers to mic positioning which also affects what the mic hears.
The reason I mentioned recording level as a possible issue is that it took me a long time to learn that my initial recordings should not be as loud as a commercial track, and that trying to achieve that loudness was wrecking my tracks. And in the years since I've seen literally hundreds of posters in the same situation.
