| BBC Choral Society (Chorus Master: Leslie Woodgate) Both the ATS and Testament could use some work. The ATS needs the bass filled in some. The Testament has tape hiss that is most likely in a range where there is no musical information and can be more shrill in the mid-highs but also has a more constricted sound. I need to transfer this and work with the EQ some. ATS pitched slightly faster. I think Melodram took the ATS recording, added some reverb and boosted the bass a little. |
