    Choral/Orchestral/Classical recording

    fair enough I take your point :o bit of a lazy arse me sometimes... but to actually get it to not sound strange or unnatural, and all that work and mouse clicking and moving nodes... seriously I do plenty of dance and pop production as well and I do ENOUGH automation in that. I really dont...

    Overhead Choice for Upcoming Project

    I once used a 1000 on snare and it sounded great, but it was for a big band so thats not exactly anything similar to what you're doing. use your ears!

    mixing and mastering books

    I cant admit ot owning many mastering/mixing books so I dont have a lot to compare to but....
