I know that there is no real standard for the apparent loudness in popular music mastering (i.e. the loudness wars), but is there any standard in mastering classical music?

I've come to a point where I'm prepared to start investigating using artificial reverb. I record to a Mackie SDR 24/96, and mix in a Powerbook using Tracktion. This has worked well. I haven't done very much processing other than mixing.

Do you use reverb?

What are usable reverbs for acoustic music like choir, chamber music etc?

Good day gentlemen,

I am currently looking for a good mastering house, preferably in Europe, to master classical recordings for vinyl. Are some of you guys in this business, and if not, could you name respectable places for this job?

Best,
Thomas

Hi guys, I posted this question in another forum and was directed here. I'm considering getting another pre to add to the rack. I mostly do pop, rock, hard rock, jazz, country etc but I do have a project of classical music coming up. I know the API 3124+ and UA pre's would be great for the rock stuff but how about classical? I have the MP2NV which sounds great but I need more channels.

Up until very recently, I was addicted to the control surface. Any automation was done via 9 smooth faders and FX automation with the twist of a knob.

Hi,

As a classically educated musician also fooling around with a home studio in rather different genres than the classical, I recently came to think where the mastering of classical music differs from mastering rock, popular and jazz music; or is there any difference at all? And in a home studio, if trying to make a "home studio" master, which approach would you take?

Cheers,

Hi, my name is Paul. I am electrical engineering student in the latter half of my BS degree, and happen to be a violinist. I have been recently investing some of my time on the behalf of my girlfriend’s interest to do some small on location recording. This interest of hers is driven by her graduate application (ma and phd) requirements for her degree in music composition.
