https://christopherhampson.bandcamp.com/album/the-bach-project-volume-1b-inventions-sinfonias Mastered in Samplitude Pro X4 Suite. Recorded "live" direct to audio in Ardour 5.12 in single takes with zero edits. Uses the Orchestral Tools Berlin Harpsichords collection (Italian single-manual copy).

I've recorded a couple of classical concerts recently at 24-bit 96kHz and have peaks around -10dB. If I want to use Ammunition's classical mastering presets for a quick and easy master preview, what input levels are the presets designed for? I don't normalize my tracks before editing but I would like to know if my recording levels need to be bumped up a little after the fact to take advantage of the programming. It must make a difference in terms of ammunition's threshold, output gain settings etc.?
