Classical Music: Recording, Mixing, and Mastering Fundamentals
by Jett Galindo, iZotope Contributor July 3, 2019
Recording, mixing, and mastering classical music requires different techniques than most modern productions.
Classical music is known for its nuanced sonics—from the wide dynamics all the way to its vast range in the frequency spectrum. With that comes a unique set of challenges for sound engineers when recording, mixing, and mastering classical music.

Deep Dive Into Smart Tempo (& Quantize Tracks Not Recorded to a Click)
Unfamiliar with Smart Tempo? It’s only the best thing to happen to musicians who don’t want to play like a robot to a click track.

It reads like a marker is placed in the timeline. Recording, especially multiple takes, is not one of the primary uses I have for Logic.
Mark takes while recording — Logic Pro X
This command places a tag in the current take, at the position the keyboard shortcut was used. All audio that precedes the use of the keyboard shortcut is tagged as a good take, and is used in the final comp.
Create and save comps — Logic Pro X
You can use quick swipe comping techniques to select the best parts from several takes, combining these parts into one master comp. After creating a comp, it’s a good idea to save it so that you can easily return to it at a later point. Any subsequent changes automatically create a new comp.

Studio One’s Percussion Part Generator — PreSonus Blog
Shakers, tambourines, eggs, maracas, and the like can add life and interest to a song by complementing the drum track. But it’s not always easy to play this kind of part. It has to be consistent, but not busy; humble enough to stay in the background, but strong enough to add impact…and this sounds like a job for version 4.5’s new MIDI features.
The Standard LUFS Standards Levels Every Mixer Should Know — Bobby Owsinski’s Music Production Blog
Looking back at the analog days, mixing level requirements seemed so easy. You aimed for 0 on the VU meter and didn’t worry too much if it bounced over. Of course, under the hood 0VU could actually be calibrated to different levels, but we usually didn’t concern ourselves too much with that as long as it was clean around the 0 mark. These days there are so many different meter reference calibrations available that it can take some time to settle on one that you feel comfortable with. That said, LUFS looms large when it comes to delivery signal levels, and that makes for lots of confusion.
