Yup i've experienced it too... and as usual pjd is correct, a lot of it is psyco-acoustics... how you perceive sound. In this case, when you're playing and focusing on your part (at that moment, whether it be the vocals or the guitar solo), if it's louder than it should be, you won't notice til after you play back the recording (and you're no longer actively playing a specific part).
A lot of times, and the volume sounds right, but when I play back the recording, the drums (and indeed most of the accompaniment) can no longer be heard in the playback. Also pyscho acoustics; what I hear when I'm playing when i'm focusing on playing notes, is going to be different when I'm just passively listening; but it's also different because when i'm playing back, I'm using completely different speakers (pc speaker, ear buds, car stereo).
I often have to turn down the main Right and Left keyboard parts and re-do a registration because of psycho acoustics combined with listening on different speakers. Alas.
