Classical Music Mastering Online. Minimal Processing. Maximum Dynamics.
Classical mastering means doing as little as possible. The dynamic range from pianissimo to fortissimo must be preserved. MixMasterAI's Natural character and light limiting protect orchestral recordings while preparing them for streaming at -18 to -23 LUFS.
What makes Classical different to master
Extreme dynamic range requires light-touch limiting
A full orchestral performance can span 50 to 60 dB of dynamic range from the quietest pianissimo to the loudest fortissimo. Any significant limiting crushes this range and removes the emotional architecture of the performance.
Complex acoustic space with many instruments
An orchestra occupies a real acoustic space that recording engineers spend years learning to capture. The spatial relationships, reverb tails, and instrument placements are the recording. Mastering should not interfere with this.
Very quiet streaming targets preserve dynamic intent
Streaming platforms like Apple Music Lossless and Tidal Hifi support dynamic classical playback. The appropriate target is -18 to -23 LUFS integrated, far quieter than pop music, to let the full dynamic arc of the composition come through.
