When we mixed, we printed some tracks to a pair of Studer A820's and had another 48 tracks playing along in Pro Tools.
I had heard something to that affect. was there a time were the camp weigh'd the options of continuing @ 16bit? or was the earlier work up-converted once you had the Mix+?

awesome work billy, really a record that has more impact on music today than it gets credit for.
even in its volume it was ahead of the curve, I remember that record being so much louder than the other stuff I was listening to at the time. Stephen Marcusen right? anyway Great songs, great production, great recording, and a GREAT mix.
