Tell that to the engineer who mixed this song:

I mixed the song "Howlin - Ambersky" with over 90 tracks in my daw and it was actually loud enough. It's about the arrangement of the song. Not every tracks is supposed to be PRESENT.. or IN YOUR FACE. If you turn up 90 tracks of sounds well then all you get is noise. But if you carefully analyze it and do good work with the dynamics of those tracks then you can work with your headroom.
I guess you can say the more tracks you can handle and still be able to put a good mix the better you get a mixing.
Again the control of dynamics in that song I posted is all credits for the engineer who mixed that song. It's daaaang hard to deal with dynamics in a live recording situation.
By the way the revision sounds good now. There are some eq changes I would do but you fixed the clipping.
Here is anotherone I found with tons of tracks but a beast outcome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ews47ZKMRI and also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SMGccd0N8c
