So.. martyo! This image came up on the side of the home page and I traced it to your post in Jan 08.
I have a particular interest in that disc as I recorded, mixed and mastered it. Did you like it? (no pressure!) :lol:
Do try listening at a volume level that would give you front mid hall seating.  I do this alot for onsite recordings.  Russell may disagree, dunno, you may too for that matter, but only after you've tried it with this.

Carla Bley- The Lost Chords Fine Paolo Fresu (Watt/ECM);  Thomas Marriott- Both Sides of the Fence (Origin).  More good work from Seattle.

That's the level I mix it at, Jim. I try to mix everything at the level it would be, live, in an ideal seating position. So to hear it the way I intended it, it should be played close to that level. If it is played quieter, it will sound a little bass shy and very slightly treble shy.

The ol' Fletcher-Munson effect kicking in.

Cool.  Good information.  The ideal seating position is governed by the volume control on the listener's end.  We can't know exactly what or where you intended that to be, Russell.  I think I'm getting what you intended, feels right to me anyways, at what I think is about row G in an auditorium or hall.  And you know how much I admire this, your recording.  Best.

Jim, the seating position I'm talking about is at the event. I imagine I'm sitting at an ideal distance from the stage at the performance and mix so that it sounds the way I would love it to have sounded - like if the sound man was really on top of things and the PA was top notch and the room sounded great, etc.

As to the listening distance at home - it doesn't matter so much - as you say, just turn up the volume on the remote until nirvana is achieved, or there are complaints from the unwashed masses.  :D

I mix for those who have invested heavily in their set up and thus tend to play somewhat loud!! It only seems right. I also see myself as mixing "for the future" - for a time when systems will play loud, clean and have a flatter frequency response than is usual today, especially in the bass end of things.
