Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" Sessions: Analog vs. Digital Infographic | Rusted Moon


A rather fascinating infographic from our friends over at Rusted Moon on Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" Sessions.

Compiled from John Hanlon's Notebook on NYA, the above infographic is definitely for audio engineers. John Hanlon -- Neil Young's long time trusted audio engineer - described the recording sessions for "Ragged Glory", in which the digital 24-track master recorder from Sony plays a central role. Hanlon's details how the 1990 album "Ragged Glory" with Crazy Horse was recorded and produced, how analogue vintage equipment and modern digital technology were combined - and how a strange mix of different sources ended up on the finished album.

Check out Analog vs. Digital: infographic for the ragged glory sessions| Rusted Moon for all the details. (Thanks Ralf!)

  1. Why no extra tracks being released from the Ragged Glory? Why announce these fantastic unheard tracks then not put them out!?

  3. However, there is actually a new unreleased track on Neil Young Archives today! 'Vacancy' from Homegrown, it's great - the closest Neil has ever been to sounding like Fleetwood Mac!
