I think on top of the mixing, the fact that they recorded the opening theme with the LA orchestra in the US with 90 instruments instead of the LSO in Abbey Road with 120 was also a huge misstep. I do not know why they decided to do this but it was kinda shocking to learn that the opening theme wasn’t even conducted by John Williams but the LA director. Wtf?Here’s the source on that if anyone’s interested: http://www.rebelforceradio.com/shows/2015/12/30/star-wars-oxygen-vol-25-the-force-awakens-part-1 Talk about opening theme starts @ 50:00 minutes.
Thanks for posting that link MartyMcFly, hadn’t come across the site before 😃
