Yes you bring up a good point that I didn't consider I assumed they did it from the tape and that probably was true with the recording where analog and digital was done in parallel. But you're right: I don't think there's an analog tape of the Rachmaninoff and that's probably right from the digital master. Guess Paul would know
And yes I was thinking about them using the one inch copy but Keith probably felt the digital version was better.
Myles,
so you went and asked them (RR-Marcia) about the source of the Rachmaninoff, and they basically talked about how they did not want to use the original masters for cutting the lacquers so a 176/24 'copy' was used.....not specifically saying that the Rachmaninoff Lp was sourced from a tape. now you think it was only a digital recording to begin with.......or.....maybe......that they had both digital and tape but Keith preferred the digital.
hummmmmm.
where is Oliver Stone when you need him?
