Hey Robert. Thanks for the listen and feedback. I took a listen back and see what you're saying about the hh being a little much. It isn't so much the tone of it (to my ears, it isn't harsh), but just stands out a bit too much. I think that's what you mean?
As to the compression, I'm not hearing that unfortunately, and I did not compress the master bus. I do use a program for mastering or premastering called A.A.M.S. which automatically masters the loudness of the song based on comparison to commercial reference materials. I've been very pleased with the program overall, but I am wondering if I should give myself more headroom in the mixes I do rather than push them hard, then let that program do the final nudge with mild compression. Not sure really.
Look forward to hearing your AD mix!
