Yes, I made a mistake, but I was in rush and nothing I did know about that crap site... It is too late, every thing is paid, flight and hotel: in the worst case, I'll enjoy a weekend in London, crying silently in a corner of Piccadilly Circus.... I'm guilty of StubHub; your story and fear sounds similar to mine. My ticket is from there and although I have had many opportunities to use e-tickets from trusty JWFanners I've gone with my StubHub ticket which looks legitimate! Stalls J Row 6 Seat 42 by the way...

That means there could be surprises... It's 1h50m of music, it's a packed program. Very excited to hear what he will perform. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,539 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I'll surely be listening, also will try to record the stream. When I first saw Classic FM will broadcast this, I tried listening to it, but was blocked because my IP is not in the UK. If anyone would encounter this problem before the concert: click "I'm in the UK" or something like that which comes up, it'll ask for a postcode, google a random UK postcode and bam, it works. Their main page also has a "Which Hogwarts house would you be in based on your musical taste" quiz. Hint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,539 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Actually, from a quick comparison, to my ears the audio quality on TuneIn sounds much better than in the webplayer that opens on ClassicFM's website: https://tunein.com/radio/Classic-FM-1009-s8439/ There's a delay between the two so I can just barely compare the same sections, and the ClassicFM one is more compressed. The presenter woman's "z"s and "s"s are a big giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,357 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 So now that we're talking about Classic FM, what about the volume correction I mentioned earlier? Can it be ignored during recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,357 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Whenever I listen, 40% volume, loud bits in pieces makes the overall volume go quiet, while soft bits are much louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 If that's how Classic FM streams it, and it's not a function of your player, then that's how it will be recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,357 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have no idea whether it's a function of my player or not. It does not happen on BBC Radio stations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,357 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Does another computer with the same two browsers (Firefox and IE8) count? The result is exactly the same, but I don't understand why they would do that when they don't do it for normal radio broadcasts. When I listen in the UK offline, it doesn't happen.

I don't care for Harry's Wondrous World, but I also know it's a popular piece and so I'm expecting it to feature next week. It's a concession to Potter concert music that I can live with. Honestly though, due to Williams being reunited with the LSO, I'm absolutely hoping for an LSO greatest hits set list that covers the brunt of the runtime. That would be me delighted. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
