I don't believe I changed any of the volumes on the brass sections -- in fact, I had just raised the brass sections in volume between version 2.5 and 2.6, so they should be clearer now. Additionally, the goal in Fool's Gold has always been to have the Derbyshire elements lead the way, and the orchestra provide merely an underscoring for those elements. This is how the mix is supposed to be (something Murray seems to have forgotten).

Good. I've already hurt myself enough trying it.

I'll download the FLAC codec, but I haven't encountered any losses when I record things into MP3. I've recorded sevral things, including a song from iTunes and MIDI files into mp3s with WavePad and they didn't loose anything.
I don't think you understand -- audio files always lose information when they are compressed to MP3. MP3 sacrifices certain minute details about the audio file in order to save space. Even if it sounds the same to your ears, audio information that was present in the original file has been lost forever once that information has been encoded to MP3. That's just how the compression algorithm works.
