In my template I am quite satisfied with the relative volumes for most instruments and groups, but I can't find good sources (CDs etc) for determining appropriate levels for the bassoons, especially the contrabassoon and the tuba.
How would I find the right levels relative to other instruments? For instance, how loud is the tuba compared to the CBS at ff, the bones in middle registers, etc. And how much louder is the contrabassoon in its middle register compared to the bassoon in its lower register?
How can you get this right when you haven't had a conservatory training and regular exposure during rehearsel etc...?
I have several scores and CDs with Tchaikowsky and Elgar scores, should I check these out?
