| I did two recordings and like Backhousepro it was electronic, all of the strings and piano were samples so I could clean up my less than stellar performances in the box. It isn't as nuanced or clean as I would make it now, but I roundly consider it my artistic pursuit (it was used by a modern multimedia dance company) so I had a lot of leeway. The music was dense was more about mood and less about a direct/sparse statement. I also had no background in mixing or mastering, but did it anyway and it turned out really well all things considered. If I could sing I might be undertaking a more traditional rock style album on my own. But I am also really enjoying collaborating lately too. It takes some of the pressure off of me to finish in places I get stuck and it brings out parts that I never would have ever imagined in a song.
I think very few people have enough objectivity to completely do their own thing (trust, my first two were very self indulgent), I would recommend against it, at least get someone who can give insight and an objective ear, and take their advice!!!
