  • Interestingly, with the two criticisms received on the audio quality of this clip, one offered to "give this clip greater filtering" owing to "its hiss and low level"; while the other criticised it for "gross and excessive filtering". Interesting - and laughable. Perhaps if you criticise those who play early recordings on youtube in a grossly distorted and damaging way on wind-up gramophones, your critiques would be more productive.

  • To those who've criticised the audio quality on Milne's voice: the audio restoration was done in around 1995, with the very earliest Dart Pro32 software then available. Much better results are possible now, but this clip recently had a complaint from someone who claimed copyright on it. If it causes me any more grief, I'll simply remove it. Christian - I also am a professional audio restoration engineer, worked for EMI and Australia's National Film and Sound Archive.
