I need to joint this drywall with another. My experience in the past was bad when applying joint compound to this type of joint, paper on drywall edge was too hard to bury in the mud. When I spread mud with knife, it sticks out.

When doing a straight butt joint with two cut edges, I'd always go over the seam with a four sided sanding sponge to smooth and chamfer the edges a bit, then apply mud and then tape over the seam .... and more mud with 6" knife and finish with 12" knife. Definitely watch Youtube as @Charles suggested.
