Kick drum is coming through very nicely on on headphones, but something in the low is causing a bit of distortion... I can't listen on the monitors right now to see if it's still a problem on speakers, but I suspect not. Probably some sort of translation snag, due to bass buildup and small drivers... have you checked it on phones?
Overall balance is very nice. The ambience on the vocal isn't my taste, personally, but I'm not struggling with it... sounds pretty well blended into the live room ensemble.
RE: sax wetness... I caught this snag after printing and uploading version one. I fiddled with it a little bit an was having a hard time rebalancing the bass/di signals without hurting the bass more than I was helping the sax. So I tried an expander on the sidestick mic to reduce the spill and found that brought the sax forward without any real sacrifice. Fiddling with an automated EQ on the toms mic seems to help with this, too, but I'm not 100% sure it's necessary.

I'm grateful for comments and suggestions. Thank you for listening!
