Mahler: Symph.1, 1st movement - all instruments completed

The rendition of the first movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No.1 has reached its first stage: all instrument notes have been recorded. This was a major effort: the overall music is around 13 minutes long (depending on the tempo), many instruments are played in duplicates (woodwinds, brass). What is to do next before the public release is to work on the tempo and the volume balance. It appears that the woodwinds sound too loud in some parts - I will have to revise the balance between the instruments. Also there is some slight volume clipping at the very loud segment towards the end - needs to be adjusted. Still a bit work to do ... but the Symphony No. 1 is now 3/4 completed!
