Hi Erik
Sorry that I answer with such a delay. Had to record a concert over the weekend... OK when I compare the current depths with version 1, it seems that the strings are probably a bit closer but then the rest of the sections seem to be even farther away than with the first version...
I produced an example with your music and with a real recording for a better comparison and as a good help for seeing things which still could be improved.
(What I did) I copied your mp3 file. I also downloaded any 5th symphony of youtube, took out the music of the mp4 and turned it to an mp3 file as well - so both files do have the same quality. Then I brought both mp3s to the same average level. After that I played a bit from your file and then a bit from the one of youtube and so on. Important to know as well I didn't use any effect on both examples!
Example-Comparison (mp3) You will recognize mainly 3 things:
- 1. You did quite a good job with the articulations and the dynamics!!! Bravo once more.
- 2. Your music sounds still far more wet and distant than the real recorded piece.
- 3. The sound of MIR...
What could you do? Reduce all the wet ratios -10%... -15% within the MIR(s?) and your orchestra will appear closer and the colourful venue-sound of MIR will be reduced in the mean time.
!!! You really should not do these tweaks for me. If you believe that the sound of your MIR-Mix is correct, take it and please stopp doing anything !!!
Happy Music
