Sorry because of my broken English.
What I wanted to say is, that listening to "Getting Free" on absolutely
perfect stereo by headphones, the mixing is ok. When listening to
monitors in a "normal" living room the vocals will cover the
instruments, especially the brass section is covered.
I try to avoid this by routing the subgroups on my mixing console to the
left and right channel, so that the signal becomes a mono signal. If
it's fine, I route the subgroups just to the wanted left or right bus.
Because of your trepidation: I very, very seldom heard any self-made
music that really was unpleasant. Just deliberately mainstream
pot-boiler ill-intentioned music is unpleasant.
If anybody, you or I ever should compose a less good song or do a less
good mixing, even if it's commercial, I guess I would be fine with it.
Most music of the charts is annoying, because if one song becomes a hit,
there will be 20 other songs similar to that song.
IMO this is the only "mistake" we could make, a song that sounds like 20
other current chart songs.

Auto-Tune doesn't kill music, it's bad usage does.
