I'm surprised you think so. I found the gain-riding that the BBC were
doing, combined with close miking, really weird. At times the gain on
the soloist was so high you could hear him breathing, and then the
orchestra came in and was not that much louder. Bizarre.

I found that particularly noticable during the Campra item (via DTTV).
Mostly when a mic was wound up 'late' so you could hear the volume and
direct/reverb ratio change as they started to sing.

However that bothered me far less that the flaws during the first 10-15
mins that produced picture and sound breakup.

Slainte,

Jim
