Thanks! This was a good experience for me too, in fact, the biggest "fix it in 
the mix" experience so far and I won't do that again :-) That said, the mix 
still leaves room for improvements - both mixwise and editwise.

I may have exported (did it in order to import freshly into Mixbus) the waves 
with the (or some) plugins active, but I don't know how that is possible, the 
very first thing I did when opening the Ardour project was to deactivate and 
remove any plugins and save the project. But of course, I may have done 
something weird or something weired was going on - I did not export before a 
new session the day after.

I love to mix and solve problems, but I'm not a fan of the "fix it in the mix" 
approach, it has to be as right as possible from the very beginning, so no 
more sketches please! :-) It's not many people asking me mixing their projects 
for free so I'll be glad to help whenever time and motivation allows it.
