You could always melodically hum over it - then work out what you did. That's something I've done often. 🙂

What did you record your songs in? Does it not have plugins you can use to compress / limit your finished song?

It's just a case of learning your DAW - these things are designed to make edits easy - as long as you know how they work. 🙂
The other thing to explore is how to quantize what you are playing. It can be done in a way that doesn't make ti sound too mechanical. From experience - the most important parts to quantise are those related to your rhythm section, i.e. bass, keyboards, drums. Thing that sit on top of that - you can get away with being more 'elastic' with your timing.

Hi,
I'm 58, from Glasgow, Scotland. Though I make my living running my own web design business - I also a musician, songwriter and songwriting tutor. I've been writing songs since I was a teenager and playing in bands as long. Played guitar with the Primevals (psychedelic rock band singed to French label New Rose), Dexter Slim & The Pickups, The Hemingways and the Bearpit Brothers (currently) among others. With those bands and as a solo artist I have released numerous cassettes, CD's and vinyl records. 🙂
I run an online songwriting course called Songwriting Magic which currently has over 1000 pupils. Songwriting Magic: http://tiny.cc/jd63kz
