Some romantic music has huge dynamic swings from soft to loud. If I set the volume so that the soft parts are soft, but easy to hear, the loud parts can be deafening. I don't have a dB meter, and I guess not many of us do. But what practices do you use to make sure you hear all the music without playing at earsplitting levels?
How do these swings sound in your favorite concert hall?
