Just wondering,
How do you guys/gals listen back to "nature" recordings level wise?
I'm just toying with the idea of a line up tone for my tracks that are for =
sale, mainly because many people listen too loud and destroy the "feeling" =
of the recording. After all, many locations I record are around 40-50dBSPL =
and should not be played back at "pop music" levels.

Sure, I do tend to master the quieter records at a lower volume but knowing=
 many use earbuds and/or listen back on laptops in less then ideal ambient =
conditions, this isn't always ideal. These days I'm putting a note on the a=
lbum, "turn the volume down for the best experience".

Are we (in general) listening too loud to nature recordings?
Just wanting to start a discussion.

Apologies if it's been mentioned recently, I've been away for a while.

Regards,
Grant.
