There are many different approaches to setting the levels in the mixdown process. Some people prefer to start with the vocals and then work their way backward, while others may start with the guitar. Neither one of these approaches is wrong. The idea is to just get a good overall balance between all of the instruments and if starting with the vocal works for you, then start with the vocal.

After setting basic levels, you should pan the instruments between the left and right outputs to create a stereo image.
