Well to quote the edit...

I've been blending with just about every guitar track. Usually put one Mic in between the fret board and the sound hole and one pointing in a weird Tony Rice way at the bridge. Gives me a good mix of beefy and archtop-ish tones.

Just finished mixing, mastering and burning 50 of them on the 5 cd burner we got on the all mighty Craigslist (makes us feel like a legit band! ). They're not perfect but for a cd to give out for free it'll do. I'll post some of them when I get home tonight.

Nice recording, Sean. It always ends up taking more time than you think, doesn't it? Especially the tweaking phase. It's cool that you have a multi CD burner, makes it a little quicker.
I did find some cool YouTubes on Mastering, most of it was pro tools oriented, but applies to all mastering.
I'll bet you have some "Learning Curves" to go yet on the ins-and-outs of your DAW. Like punching in overdubs and such.
Sounds Good, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! It didn't really take all that much time because I mostly used the presets for compression and stuff like that since we were on a time crunch. I'll take more time with our songs.

Also yeah, I probably should actually read the manual and learn some more about it.

Update:
Well, we played a show out of town today and had a "band meeting" about our album. We decided that we wanted to have it done late February/early March. So with the money from the gig we ran down to the guitar center and got the MXL CR-24 mic package! Gonna officially hit it off Tuesday!
