Hi DDL,
I like the overall tone and balance ,maybe a touch less compression or limiting as missing some dynamics and punch compared to listening to commercial Cd wav files.
especially the Cd of this Awesome song.

I hear you and thanks Don.. I am aiming for massive color and this is the first pass of the mix.. I will look into loosing it up. Thats a great ear, the retro color of that Tom Petty reference is what I'd say I was aiming for.

Ironically in this mix the tracks are almost all bussed with an LA2A to contain a leveling of each track to mesh into a soundscape kind of presentation.. this is where the technical ear hear the comp/limiting effects.. The global comp/limiter is not the effect point, its on each track object, the strategy being to present a 60's saturated color tone (which I feel works for the mood of this particular song) without needing to revert to a tape emulation (which wasn't used but could have been the alternative saturation color decision).
There's other versions of this core mix that could exist that would employ different levels of a more loose comp/limit.. it definitely could be 2 or even up to 4 versions delivered to a client to pick from...
To go for the Tom Petty reference, the comp/limiting def have to be more loose.... To go for a Green Day reference would be the heavier comp/limiting..
