I know there's not supposed to be a right way and a wrong way, but Good Lord there is so much wrong here I can't think of how to begin to address it.

Why don't you just record it right to begin with and then use your damn ears - seems like people want to do all this fancy shit with every vst under the sun just because they CAN, but they CAN'T be bothered to just take the time to record it right.
