Om 96 kHz/24 bitar:
I don’t think there’s a massive difference between 48/24 and 96/24, OK? I’m not one of those guys who’s going to pour scorn on anyone who listens to CDs. I like listening to CDs. I think they still sound great — when they’re mastered well.

There’s no reason not to be recording everything at 96/24. We now have the media to be able to download at 96/24, and we can release things on Blu-ray and DVD and keep all that resolution.
Om mastring:
I know we’ve talked about this before, but I think it’s worth saying again that all of this high-resolution stuff is pointless if the mastering sucks. Bad mastering is more of a problem than things being released at CD resolution, or even MP3s. What’s nice about this move to 96/24 is the amount of things that are coming out in flat transfers — no compression, and no mastering engineers fucking up the sound. That is a very, very good development in the history of music.
The simple answer is I don’t have any of my work mastered. It goes straight from my mixes — flat transfers onto the disc.

Why would you need this mastered? You’ve approved the masters and you think the mixes sound great, so why would you not just release them as they are?
Och så en hel del om nya skivan och om kommande släppet av Yes Fragile i surround.
