This is VERY different from how I approach mixing audio without picture.

In video, image is primary. Audio is secondary and you have to follow picture. Audience shots mean MORE AMBIANCE. The music mix can sometimes (sadly) be considered by a producer, less important than the "being there from the camera's eye."

Music only?
Music & lyrics are primary, Audience is an afterthought- sometimes it is limited to "almost a flavoring". (Client's quote)

FX are VERY important, and I'd never put out a completely dry vocal. I don't use the ambiance as room tone.

I don't have a director creating a visual stimulus in addition to a producer as my end client.

I can have a full and complete dynamic range. If it's radio, I have some, but less stringent dynamics restrictions than TV broadcasts. For webcasts & internet content I unfortunately have more.

Cheers!
