Personally I would try and pay attention to the sound because the rest of the band are playing along to them...so long as I could dispose of the rough mix, I would set it so that it provides the best beat/feel to the rest of the band to play with. Then get rid of it and do a proper job with respect to the rest of the mix.
(Not that you'd not be doing a proper job to begin with by the sounds of it)

Well the thing about that is it is just me playing a scratch guitar through a pod, and my drummer listens through the headphone out on the pod, since I'm using all my inputs for drums i can't lay a guitar down. Well I guess I could lay a scratch guitar down but I would be without 1 part of the drums which we play avantgard metal so all the drums kinda have to be prevalent....My drummer seems to get a better take when I'm playing at the same time so I think how I'm doing it is best. And no I'm not the greatest but I do pay attention to detail when I'm recording all instruments. For you to assume I'm doing things wrong is making an ass out of you and me :)

Codemonkey I'm sorry about that last post, I totally read the end of your post wrong so I appologize for that :oops:
