Re: Seeking advice: mixing field recordings of native music

There have been a few comments about the importance of using as little processing as possible because this is a field recording. Unlike field recordings of the past, though, the market for these recordings is the community where the music originated, and not ethnomusicology buffs. Because of that, I feel that the purist approach of not processing the material does not apply. Rather, I want a mix that will withstand repeated listening. So my goal is a clean mix, flat frequency spectrum, & wide dynamic range, regardless of how many plug-ins it takes.
It's very interesting how the context of a recording and its intended audience affects our beliefs about how to approach a mix.
Thanks for your comments so far.

Once i'm done the mix, I'll post some before/after clips of the material.
