Just a thought I have in remembrance of my own personal amateur mistakes with non-vocals.

If you choose to mix down the backing separately, be careful not to include any kind of reverb that you might not be able to reproduce for the voice. Different reverbs on the backing and the voice might sound great individually but completely weird together, if they create a psychoacoustic space that could not exist in reality. =8^)
