Yeah I think you are on the money with the reverb/chamber/overheads, etc.
I've just switched them all off and the mix suddenly has more clarity and space.... who'd have thought...
Doesn't sound that bad actually. I can now hear that gives me a lot more space in the mix to work on eq, etc to fill out each element without the masking effect of all the reverb.
I can then ease the chamber/overheads and other reverb sends back in at a more appropriate level.
Aside from the chamber I had reverb sends on the kick/snare bottom and vocal. I suspect I might find I don't need it, or certainly not as much.
I'm already employing gating, bus compression, etc. It's a good suggestion though to help get more punch, etc.
I'm really not shy with eq (which I think did get me in to trouble when the inital balance was off...).
I didn't think I was over using the master bus - I've only got very light eq for a bit of top and bottom, prob 1 db gain reduction on the comp at 1.5:1 and then the limiter. Probably limiting all that reverb... I guess I will find out!
Ok, I'll revisit this and get another revision up when I have some progress to report!
Many thanks for taking the time, it's appreciated.

Just uploaded a mix/master? Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
