Gold Member Username: John_aLondonU.K. Post Number: 3873 Registered: Dec-03 | Andy, I just "listened" to Mahler's Symphony No. 2 on Classic FM "Hall of Fame". The performance was great; Abbado, Lucerne Festival Orchestra, live performance. The broadcast was technically the most incompetent one I have ever heard or seen. I lost count of the number of times the signal dropped out - completely - a few seconds after a quiet passage or just the between movments. After up to twenty seconds or so, some clown in Classic FM eventually noticed, and brought the signal up above some threshold value that had caused the cut-out in the first place. He/she did this by turning up the gain. So when it came back, it came back at three or four times the volume at which it dropped out. I waited with morbid fascination for the end, wondering whether there would be any apology. None. Instead, a lady with the general demeanour of a mindless bimbo congratulated her employes on having broadcast the whole symphony - they hadn't - and proceded to mispronounce the names of the solists and inform listeners that the piece (or performance...?) was number 84 in the Classic FM Hall of Fame. What tosh, honestly. And all they had to do was broadcast a DG CD. Play the CD every time. A review. What a station. I am sure the female presenters are pretty. Just as well. |

Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Post Number: 1401 Registered: May-05 | John Good afternoon to you, hope your keep well up there in London' mate. Any completes so say about the broadcasting, well over the past few weeks I have noticed advertisements, news introductions cowing up all the time, I mean first they play this is classic fm news, then it stops just 3 seconds in starts back up again then overlaps with a cacophony, what a mess. I've also noticed the dynamic range in level, or the volume level as you have described in one part of there broadcasts, makes you wonder if this show is pre-recoded. Man I have just heard the presenter, cutting out slightly; I'm listening to it right now, and the Saturday afternoon show, 15th 2005, (Count down the Top 300 hits in the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2006). |
Gold Member Username: John_aLondonU.K. Post Number: 4126 Registered: Dec-03 | Greetings, Andy. All stations seem to compress dynamic range these days. Radio 3 seems to have gone berserk and is doing the entire Ring cycle tomorrow, starting at 8 a.m. |
Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Bournemouth,... Post Number: 1488 Registered: May-05 | John Well that's very true, and they seem to turn the dynamic range up in the evening, I would have thought I would have been the other way around. Just means I have to, LOL turn it down on the fader I guess. Does Classic FM with the "DAB" use compression on their broadcasts? |
Gold Member Username: John_aLondonU.K. Post Number: 4221 Registered: Dec-03 | I don't know, Andy. I do not have DAB, only "Freeview" digitial terrestrial, and Classic FM is not on that. |
Gold Member Username: Thx_3417Bournemouth,... Post Number: 1490 Registered: May-05 | John I would guess that there are very few with DAB radio hare in the UK, what do you think? |
Gold Member Username: John_aLondonU.K. Post Number: 4228 Registered: Dec-03 | Andy, No, there is a definite swing to DAB in the UK. The BBC plugging it for all it's worth. Look in the shops. See also the thread HD Tuner? |
