My mixing approach was to emulate the traditional orchestra player placement, not only left to right, but from to back.
To achieve better distinction between instruments, I actually made each track mono to start with, in Logic Pro.
Then I sent each each mono track to Metric Halo's MIO Console (I use a Metric Halo ULN-2 audio interface -- clear and detailed converters), along with assigning instruments to 1 of 4 aux busses:
I create 4 reverbs using the Metric Halo "Halo" reverb, applying distance/damping, high and low pass filtering to achieve the distance I want for each Aux bus:
I only applied limiting on the master buss, and was not interested in trying to make it sound "loud", so I tried to retain the natural dynamics in the record performance.
The MP3 is 192/44.1
Please comment as you desire.
Note to Ethan Winer: I have enjoyed this piece of music very much... very pretty, and dynamic, I sometimes listen to it several times in a row!

- Aux1: Solo Cello and Solo Violin
- Aux2: Front row instruments (Strings)
- Aux3: Middle Row (Woodwinds)
- Aux4: Back Row (Horns, Tuba, Bass, and drums/percussion)

- Aux1: "Close"
- Aux2: "Mid"
- Aux3: "Far"
- Aux4: "Very Far"
