@takka360, bmullen, pauli - hey guys, thanks for your kind words and comments
@pauli I think you're right about the kick/bass combo. I spent so long trying to sort the snare out, i sort of missed the detail on that part. I did a quick test with a more aggressive HP filter on the bass and it does clear the low mids a lot - i just can't face having to go back into the project at the moment and re-balance the whole thing again
with regards to compression----there isn't a whole lot really. I think that I've just chosen a more dense approach that by its very nature emphasizes guitars and synth...and these raw tracks appear to be pretty compressed when looking at the original wave forms compared to the bass and piano which probably have more inherent dynamic range.....If I ever dive back in to sort the low mids, I'll have a scout about to see if anything's working too hard....Thanks again for your comments

Summary of my observations: ease up on the compression as the mix feels a bit too dense and get those low mids cleared up a little.... otherwise, fantastic work. I agree with takka, you've obviously pored over this... much respect
