I was interested in mixing this because of the oboe-problem. Oboe tries all the time to mask the vocals. I wanted the lyrics to be some what audible all the time. Interesting challenge.
I tried different methods in each and every track to turn down the oboe. I don't have so many plugins so I used mainly the compressor in Avid Channel Strip (quite versatile) and De-esser in Brainworx EQ. It was fun, but I'm not sure if the overall sound is natural.
I hope that oboe still sounds as oboe and that other instruments don't have too much of phase issues.
