    Hello,

    I've just posted a new recording of a quintet by Boccherini:



     The reason I'm telling you about it today is that it's a previously unpublished masterpiece. It's the composer's very last quintet, and it comes with a surprise: it ends with a slow movement! Do you know of a classical instrumental work that doesn't end with a fast movement?

    Greetings

    Very interesting hybrid production.  Could you explain a little more how you put this piece together

    First of all, thank you for your compliment.

    I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for this recording. The only thing that seems important to me is that all the tracks had no reverb to begin with. Here are the details:

     

    DAW: Ableton Live 10 Suite

    Violin 1: recorded without reverb with my violin + EQ because the sound is very strident, PAN 30L, no reverb.

    Violin 2: recorded without reverb with my violin + EQ because the sound is very strident, PAN 15L, no reverb

    Viola 1: 03 Solo Viola/03 Viola full, PAN C, RoomRvrb OFF

    Viola 2: 03 Solo Viola/03 Viola full, PAN 15R, RoomRvrb OFF

    Cello: 03 Solo Violoncello 1/03 Violoncello 1 full, PAN 30R, RoomRvrb OFF

    Glue compressor on all tracks, external reverb on Master.

     

    I had to use the Glue compressor because I imported the MIDI tracks with velocity from SAMPLITUDE and some passages were really too weak. Maybe I could have solved the problem with the SYNCHRON PLAYER effects, but I don't know enough about it.
