Hey guy. In general, I agree with your judgements on this one. The nature of the raw recordings made it very difficult to get the sound I wanted under the time frames my life (and wife lol) put on working through the mixes, so things like micro automation and fader rides don't get the attention they deserve.
It's interesting that you're hearing the vocals as dry because they have more reverb than almost everything else (the guitars have none at all) to try and blend them with the room recording. I probably pulled too much high end out of the return, and that'd probably also account for the vocal boxiness.
The bass issue, I've discovered, is a result of a last minute decision to bring the room mics up quite a bit. That's probably also why the vocals seem too dry, too
Thanks for checking it out, I'll have to take another look and attend to these issues!
