Tango Suite for String Quartet

[Nigel Keay]

I've just put mp3 recordings of my Tango Suite for String Quartet on my website. The recording was made using DP5.13 + Traveler; this is the first time I've used Traveler to record my string quartet. It's a concert performance that took place recently in a hall (longish rectangular shape) with quite a high level of natural reverb. The hall is almost too live for the audience unless sitting quite close, but it seems to me to be quite good for recording as I've not added any reverb to the recording. On pieces 2, 3, & 4 I've simply increased the bite gain +6db. For pieces 1 & 5 I used the MW Limiter; there was a large peak at the end of piece 5. Other than using bite gain and limiter it's exactly as recorded. The two e914 Sennheiser mics were on a stand 2.3m high just in front of the quartet, perhaps 1 or 1.2 metres back from the group. Converted into mp3 using LAME variable bit rate at the maximum quality. Thanks for any suggestions on how I can advance from here.

Edit: August 08. I've just recorded a movement of my Viola Concerto (version for viola & piano), and also added the option of listening to Tango Suite via .ogg files
