Recent Kirkland Civic Orchestra concert. Real challenge mastering this one, for a few reasons:
- venue has a noisy HVAC (hum/noise removal)
- venue is acoustically tuned to hype midrange (it's a theater, not a concert hall)
- heavy curtain at the rear of the stage soaked up a lot of the brass sound, and some of all instruments, and killed any stage reverb, making the recording sound like a bunch of people and not an orchestra.
Mastered (mostly) in the analog domain, with digital filters for noise and hum.
