Actually yeah... I've got all that Waves stuff on my HD and never used any of it.. duh!
Guess I should spend some time learning to use em.

hmm... that bass problem might be from using T-Racks. I pushed the tracks with a compressor and limiter to get more punch out of em and I had to drop some of the bass to get rid of the distortion it was causing. I was thinking more in terms of tv soundtrack stuff so I figured the bass wasn't as important as getting the tracks as loud & punchy as possible. There's several factory presets like soft compression, 2" tape or brick wall. Brick wall is like what a.m. radio uses to get tunes as loud as possible. I basically just picked that preset and adjusted the eq until it stopped distorting. That's probably what's causing the harshness I'm hearing too.

I'll try remastering em tomorrow with less 'bricks' & post em again, see if there's any improvement.
Thanks for your help doc :)
