the sibilance here is bad. i can understand if you knew this and didn't make it a priority though....i often find myself when confronted with ridiculous amounts in a track (bad mic choice, poor set up, over-compression etc etc)...that i'll leave it in order to pursue more focused goals and objectives - life can be too short to address tiresome issues like these, eh? but if you didn't, then something as basic as this kind of problem raises important issues at a more fundamental level. besides, a broad-brush de-esser approach to spank the worst would have been more acceptable than leaving it, perhaps? so, i can't say "it sounds great". and when the backing vocals kick in....nightmare sibilance because of the accumulative effects?
i'd like to know what your strategy was after you'd counted the tracks and considered how you were going to get 69 of them into a 20-20,000Hz spectrum (more realistically, 20-16,000Hz)?
was i hearing distortion at around 1:08? just curious.
what worries me here, is this low-mid issue. if you can't address it in this mix, the root cause of the problem will be carried into all other mixes you work? you need to be able to hear the issues for yourself, without other's flagging it up. if you don't, it will remain a weakness.
looking forward to v2
