Great question and conversation.

Unless I am understanding the coversation incorrectly one item neither JEL or Noel has mentioned is how each music genre has its own generally accepted, or standard, mix frequency curve. One piece of advice repeatedly given to beginner mixers is to compare and match the frequency curve of their song to the frequency curve of a hit song of the same genre.

Though RealTracks may not exactly match the frequency curve of the genre that inspired each RealTrack, there are audible differences in the sound of an electric "jazz" guitar RealTracks and a "metal" guitar RealTracks.
