Radio stations use Compressors and limiters more aggressively, to get those punchy sub lows.
Asking just about any church minister in the UK would solve their audio issues ... I’m getting better results from the open-source software on my decade-old iMac than I’ve just heard on the Andrew Neil clip a friend just sent me. Thanks to covid there are now amateur broadcasters all over the country, getting by on a weekly basis without any of the professional training, experience or equipment that GBN must surely have access to.

I completely agree that as a minimum they should be using the sort of compression and limiting measures you mentioned, but I fear whoever is in charge of the tech may not know how to use it properly. It’s really letting them down at the moment and it’s a tragedy.
