The fact that I'm posting about EQing orchestral tracks the week before submitting an orchestral track to R&R is coincidence. Stop overthinking things.
So yeah, I've got a fairly large (around 70 instrument tracks) orchestral track that's finished except for EQing and polishing. My strategy at the moment is EQing it instrument section by instrument section, low instruments to high. So, make sure the cello and the double bass tracks sound good together, then the rest of the strings, then mute the strings and work on the brass in a similar way, then winds, tuned percs then untuned, then I plan on fitting it all together at the end, followed by tweaking the dynamics and doing any last bits of polishing. (Luckily there doesn't seem to be a terrible amount of EQing to do, there's room for improvement but it doesn't sound actively bad or overly muddy).
My question is, would anyone recommend a different strategy here? Something that you think would get better results or get the same job done more efficiently?
