Great job! I think you nailed it. I think I'd dial back the distortion on the synth lead, some of the hits and the drone/pad, those are very...
Difficult to tell without having heard an example of where you're at and examples of where you want to go. You mention palm mutes specifically....
Full tape simulations have so much going on - several stages of roll off, dynamics, saturation, crosstalk, feedback, wow, flutter, dropouts, slew...
I think smart plugins make sense when you yourself have identified specific issues you want to fix. What's the point in sweeping from 590hz to...

Things I'd try: download again, exclude from anti-virus, reboot. My conNCW06 is 129.536 bytes and the CRC32 checksum is 9830b2ae if that helps.
