This is where I am. I feel comfortable enough capturing ideas, but I'd like to really put some time into some solo stuff I've been working on. I don't even know where to begin with taking that step. I want like a book to read on it, since I've watched so much YouTube on recording and mixing and still don't have a clue.

Check out http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm for a bunch of free multitracks across various genres. Most of them have a final version of the song mixed included. And some even have articles attached with things like session notes, a breakdown of techniques used, etc.

Good producer, if it's somebody you work well with, is worth every penny and then some. If not, it's the biggest waste of $$$ you can contemplate. Over the years, I've tried working with several - it's a case of I'm far enough out in left field that there's not much someone's going to add to my fairly rigid "It's improv time" process.
Somebody running the console and turning the knobs can be grand, though.
