They had the insight to ask me to bring in my mics and sound system to put reverb into the studio - no voice amplification, just reverb like their concerts. I used a catherdral settingg, and it was stunningly fine - and I gave a feed to the control room just in case they’d know what to do with it. I never heard the broadcast, but the smiles of the singers told me all I needed to know.<br class=""><div class="">

In the latter half of the 1970s, I was working at the ABC Television Network former facility on W66th Street in NY. One Christmas, the Choir of Men and Boys was invited to be on Good Morning America and later Gerre asked me, "Richard, why do you make all those studios to be like pillow factories?" Of course, the choir was used to singing in St. Thomas Church which had a reverb time of around five seconds, and the choral music did not sound as good in the studio...and I think the choristers may have even had problems hearing each other.</p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></body></html>
