I can't say I'm going overboard at all but I'd have a difficult time not trying to do a decent job for lack of a better term. I basically mixed so it sounds like the way I mix - whatever that happens to be.

This has really been a great exercise for me to learn more in depth about things I've glossed over with Reaper over the last few years.

The eye-opener for me is I haven't mixed anything I didn't play 95% of the instruments on in years. Seems like that would be easier but it isn't because typically, if I hear a track I don't think fits soncially, I just replay the damn thing. Can't do that here.

I'm not, don't know about the others.

I'm really interested to see how some of you handled the drums in your mixes when this is over.

I didn't spend a huge amount of time on them - that could mean my drums suck but they sound fine to me in context at the moment. As I said, I'm down to sub dB changes on a handful of tracks.
Edit: There are things I've considered/noticed while mixing, I hope we can step back and discuss post contest as I think all our thoughts and that conversation may be even more valuable than the mixing work.
