LSP delay is useful when you are syncing phase of different microphones that record the
same source. In other words, if you record double track and try to sync both takes together, it won't be helpful.

The problem is not in Haas effect. Haas enhancer allows to create mono-compatible stereo track from mono source.
The problem is that reverberation moves all your instruments from the front position of the mix to the middle position and to the back position. If you move your instrument to the back position, you should set the pre-delay parameter for the reverb as less as possible. If you move your instrument to the front plan, you should significantly increase the pre-delay parameter (but keep in mind of not to overdoing).
Dude that's awesome info. Why don't you start a wiki on all of this? You guys are all helpful.
I'm actually going to remix it with some of the information all you guys told me. Even though the drum cymbals are all in the overhead mic I think I can reduce the volume on them in Ardour. The snare drum to me also sounds a little too loud and out of place so I'm going to reduce that. It's just that some of the drum cymbals are louder than others so I will have to manipulate the wave file. I've always start with the Reverb that more pre delay pushed things for the back but I'm going to try what you've mentioned.

You may try to use multiband compression on the overhead microphones to reduce the gain of loud cymbals and to not to affect other stuff.

It's pretty normal for non-mastered track. My teacher told me once the KSBV rule: "Kick, Snare, Bass and Voice should sound definitely, all other instruments are not so important".

.
use that while mastering or on the overhead track during mixing?

Why mastering? You may use multiband compressor on any track when mixing. I very like to use multiband compressor: it allows to control the dynamics for each frequency range (low, low mid, high mid and high). Сymbals mostly sound in range starting from 2-3 kHz.

I don't know the structure of your project but if your overhead mics are present as separate tracks, I think the best way is to bind them into stereo bus (one track for the left channel and one track for the right channel) and apply the processing to this bus.
