I had a few questions about mixing different qualities of songs onto the same album? is there any particular way to go about that? will it sound really off to try to mix songs that are recorded using different techniques?

In that case--if you have a few hundred dollars--a qualified mastering engineer may be your best bet as far as getting all the levels similar, spectral balancing* (getting the lows, mids, and highs of the tracks to sound similar), and generally "smoothing over" any rough edges and outstanding frequencies.

He or she is not, however, a miracle worker. Recordings which have vastly different sonic signatures will still sound that way even after expensive mastering.
