I generally can't record more than a few minutes without making some horrendous error, so I tend to record sections of movements, rather than whole movements or works. Midi files automatically created by PT, at 48k/32bit. So, if I have, say, 2 files for a sonata movement, 3 if I separately record the 1st section repeat, I export the files to the MacBook Pro. (I use Samplicity to add some room ambience, both for live playing and for the initial recording)
I use Audacity to create a single file for the movement, adding 3 seconds to the start. Gaps between the end of say the 1st section and the 2nd - often these are OK - are simply cut down. Amplify to around -6dB at this point and normalise. If I have re-recorded a few bars within a section I have the laborious task of inserting/cutting. (Before amplifying etc) Still not sure if to start and end when there are rests, or to start/end when there are no rests. Easy to end up with the dreaded 'click' in Audacity and the repair function is so difficult to manage. Sometimes easier just to re-record the whole section. (Btw, my recordings are "concert" performances, no attempt to achieve anything near perfection.) Save the wav file to a memory card.
Load onto the desktop, where the music 'library' is kept, streaming to my sound system. Open again in Audacity, add appropriate reverb via the AU matrix reverb and normalise. Listen through the system and make any volume, reverb changes. Save at 48k/32bit. When finalising a 3 movement work for instance, I amplify to around -1dB, usually slightly less for quiet slow movements.
When creating a cd - for my own use; I am creating a library for when the arthritis finally catches up with me - I copy the 48k/32bit files to a folder, do more amplification adjustments as necessary - time consuming if I have 20 - 30 tracks of mazurkas etc - and save at 44.1/16bit. I have tried to combine all tracks in Audacity and make global adjustments to volume etc, but Audacity is so painfully slow with 70 odd minutes of music. And they all have to sub-divided afterwards. I use an external cd drive and SimplyBurns (free) which is limited and somewhat hit and miss.
It is a cheap and basic process and I'm sure other will be able to point out how it could be improved. Over time I have become more aware that the dynamic range of my recordings seem less than the perceived range when playing, but this may also be affected by the equipment and the room. Slight variations between PT instruments, but I set the PT dynamic range at 60.
Not a "how to do it" post, but just my DIY workflow.
