Here are the main things I did:
Edits; muted synth4 except for the very end, muted synth1 during the piano solo, copied the piano accompaniment during the guitar solo to the piano solo.
Evened out the piano and guitar solos with volume automation and light compression. Evened out the bass with moderate compression. Added a parallel compression track for the snare.
Added a 70 Hz tone gated from the kick as an alternative to the EQ bump suggested in Mike Senior’s track notes.
Gated both toms and put tom2 on the left. Switched the overhead tracks left for right to match.
Narrowed synth3/4 and set panning for other tracks.
Tried the short/long technique mentioned in the reverb article cited in the track notes. I used a hall reverb, put the short one on most tracks and the longer one on lead tracks.
