R1 to R2 transfers

[Jono]

Maybe geeks can explain this, but why does Scott sound so muffled on 5Live compared to Radio 1? Is it like the bitrate being lower, or a studio setting

I wonder if it’s a processing thing with Scott? R1 uses a lot of processing on presenters voices to match the music and overall sound of the station. Speech stations don’t necessarily need that

I think it’s partly to do with a different station having a slightly different set up, but I also think a big part of it is Scott changing up the act for R5L. He’s not trying to appeal to a younger audience and uses a slower, deeper tone of voice.

I’m not a technical radio person, but I have put the muffledness down to Scott not having time to fix his broken tooth on a Saturday morning
