Hello friends,
Here is a 1.1 version of the Franck Chorale in E. I kept the original performance and registration intact, so one may compare the PAB organ's perspective convolved into a different reverberant space.

as contrasted with the original performance submitted 24 hours earlier:

I'd like to share with you how I created the crescendo in the Maestoso section (370 to about 400 secs): First volley of sound consisted of full Grand Orgue alone, followed by adding full Positif (swellbox closed then opened), followed by full Recit (swellbox closed then opened).
This portion and the one at the end of the piece involved cases where I had to manually turn down the gain, because the extra sound level was overloading the mp3 copy. If the G.O. sounds thin at first in the Maestoso section, it is because I had to turn down the gain before the swellbox crescendi began. One way for you to get back some of the broader sound is for you to manually increase the volume of your own speakers. Surely the sound will be louder, but it will also be fuller.
Enjoy. As always, comments of all type are welcomed. It is with these types of discussions that this forum is at its best.
Cheers,
Joe
