This reminds me of my first job at a "live to digital" (Sony PCM to Betamax!) studio in the early 1990s. Except back then we had to record live to stereo then we had 2 extra tracks for overdubs.
There was a lot of spill possibly from not so careful mic placement and I don't think the engineer was able to get the bass/guitar players to turn down lower than 11
Regardless it was workable. I put a very short delay on the guitar and panned it to make it nice and wide.
The noise was a doozy to fix. After several attempts I ended up mixing down with the noise and removing it in Audacity while topping and tailing.
I tried to make it sound like it was a live performance in a small, smoky venue.
DAW: Reason 7
Headphones: Sony MDR-XB900
