Well, it does not have to be that way. certainly back in 2000 r2 put out a
Bee Gees concert with wonderful dynamic range and quality on DAB. Some of
the concerts recorded for radio 1 in the 70s and 80s were very good also,
but when more recently they have rebroadcast some of them they are
compressed to hell and back. I know this as I have high quality recordings
from FM of the originals.
As I say, they need to decide what they are aiming for. Its not just
classical lovers who like good quality output.
The standards at the bbc have fallen to a new low and now I suspect most
listeners would be astounded just how realistic and good so called pop
concerts can be.

If you want to hear quality you need to start with quality. Much of the
more 'pop-ish' music on R2 has a fairly high level of compression from
which, realistically, there would be very little gain. On the other hand
much of R3 is high original high quality or is live which will allow the
lsitener to hear the difference.

So they hide this away, and have no plans to give services. Interesting.
I'd have thought that if they did live stuff on the Radio 2 network they
would get more feedback, or is the idea to say nobody cares so we can
carry on doing what we do in crap quality.

People may find this test interesting. Despite the date on one page it
is
*not* an April Fool! Note that it may only run for 4 weeks.
