Mic and Preamp samples Regensburg Dom and lindell audio to name a few

This is not part of a mic shootout. Just a few dry clean samples for reference on the internet.

This grouping has mostly samples of the Cathedral Pipes Regensburg Dom, Neumann tlm102 mics, and the lindell audio 6x-500, Vintech 573, bla b12a, and electro harmonics 12ay7 tube pre (w/now rca tubes) preamps.

There's no compression/plugs/normalizing on any of the tracks.

Levels for Samples

If you are mixing down individual riffs and phrases for an audio program in which the user could select a guitar or keyboard part etc. to mix into their music, how warm do you want the levels?

Do you normalize it so it peaks at or almost zero db? Or would you want to leave several db headroom? Any input from you pros greatly appreciated. Thank you.
