NEW MIX

[goldtoast]

Hey, you've got a great room reverberation and sound in general. Everything sits in its place like it should.
There's one thing I really find disturbing which is your stereo image.
You don't get the feeling that the brass section is playing togehter.
They're spread too far in the room.

Maybe you have to see the brass section more as one instrument. If you look at how a big band is sitting (live) you can more relate how to place them in your stereo image.

Instead of trying to create dimension through hard panning, maybe you can try out to achive it with depth. Try out different values of pre-delay, early reflection to reverb ratio, different settling of high frequencies and so on.
For that don't try to create too much depths within the brass section but in relation to the rhythm section ( drums, bass, keys, guitar ).
