Thanks for the comments Don. I am using an old hybrid setup in my studio that limits me to 24 tracks, so I had to make decisions on what not to use and make stereo mixes of things like the strings and vocal pads and fly them back in as well as fill up empty open holes on various tracks to save on track count. It was a tedious process just to get to the point of starting the fun part of mixing the tune. There is not a lot of compression going on with individual tracks, a bit of the stereo string tracks just to control the swells slightly, the bass is going through an an old Altec 436C comp, not hitting it too hard. Vocals are going through a GT Glory Comp and a TnC "ChiNeve" 1084 channel for some transformer weight and EQ. The entire mix is going through a multiband compressor, using two bands for a crossover around 80hz, with the low end bypassed so the low end doesn't tigger any compression. Everything above that is getting tickled with about 2db of reduction, just to help gel it all together a slight bit more.
