if you have any issues give me a shout.
The idea is that this challenge is to try and come up with a commerical mix of a given track, something which people may wish to practice on projects much larger than anything they normally create. So ... that's what I think this is.
Remixes ... by christ I'd love to hear them though! And you have my permission to pull apart my version of someone elses song to do so. I do think though, if that's happening they should be excluded from the judging on this challenge, or if enough entries encourage it ... a second vote on the remixes.
You have my blessing, however, to mix remix demix supermix ANY of my tracks (my entire back catalogue is open to those who genuinely wanted to mess with one of my tracks)

I suspect they were some form of compressed files. 100Mb won't give you 6 minutes of wav. So when you stack 50 tracks of WAVs in 48.1k and 24bit ... soon gets very big.
Not really a problem on my ageing MBP, all projects are stored on an extra drive, and I like to commit to stems anyway, frees up resources for mastering, it is a good project to get involved in, plenty of room to re-amp etc.
Should have my mix up in the next week or so.

I decided I had procrastinated enough, did it in 3 hour chunks, for a total of about 18 hours, took a break for a few days which made it harder to get back into it, but did about 5 revisions, listening on a variety of common devices. Initial mix was done on Sennheiser HD650s at about 4 in the morning, but that was just getting used to the many tracks, and I decided to make my own stems for drums from the midi, and I had a go at re amping all the guitars from the DI's.
Final project folder came in at just over 8 gig, with mastering done in a new project.
In hindsight, I could have dug into the drums a bit more, but there was a lot here to play with, vocals were pretty easy, but I definitely didn't go as deep as you describe with eq, it probably shows.
All in all, an excellent track to play around with, and a few revisions could easily result in a commercial track, I don't have the equipment to get the best from it, but I am looking forward to some critique.
