A good read. This was interesting
On Sound:

the first mix just didn't really work. So we brought in Ben Burtt to help out with some of the sound effects, because it just didn't sound like Trek. So he created all of these iconic sound effects that we hadn't been using at all,

we did a third mix, which was partly possible because we'd delayed the release date by six months. That was massively important. We actually ended up putting back a lot of the score and then we took certain cues written for scenes and switched them out. We must have moved and added and adjusted nearly 24 cues.

You know, after reading this, it truly is remarkable how complex movie-making is. There are so many subtle nuances of sight and sound that all have to come together into a whole, and it aint easy to pull off. Kudos to Abrams et al. for making it all work!
