Hello Sam,
Thank you very much for your appreciation of my work!
To answer you questions the best I can:
- No compression was used at all
- Mic/Reverb was, as I mentioned, kept to a minimum:
* Condenser at -3dB
* Mid 2 at 0 dB
* Main at -3dB to + 3dB (usually around -2dB/-3dB) depending of each piece, to control overall room reverb
* Surround at -3dB (not at all necessary, used just for sweetening)
* No Reverb (-inf on all channels)
- EQ is different for each piece and is used to try to match the performance that was used as a reference. Here are some examples:
* K.27: (BP 300Hz at +4.5dB / Q ff 1.7) + (BP 590 Hz at +4dB / Q of 0.5)
* K.162: No EQ
* K.380: (LowShelf: 138Hz at +6dB) + (BP 292 Hz at +6dB / Q of 0.64) + (BP 1.5 KHz at +5dB/ Q of 1.4) + (LP 3.5KHz 6dB/oct / Q of 0.7)
* K.431: (BP 540Hz at +4dB / Q of 0.71)
As you can see, it's all fairly straightforward.
Thanks
