The online pro audio magazine AudioTechnology, Issue 27, features an interview with John Hanlon who is longtime producer of Neil Young. In the article about recording Young’s latest album ‘The Monsanto years’, Hanlon talks about selecting a clock for the recording:
“When we use digital, Neil wants to go to the highest resolution available. We have done listening tests, and 192k sounds great, though it does depend on having a good clock. We have used the Apogee Big Ben, which I think is very musical, and I checked out the Antelope, Rosendahl Nanosync, Aardvard Aardsync and the new Pro Tools clock, and they’re all really good. We did a shoot-out and went with the Grimm Audio CC1, because it sounded the best with 24 bit / 192k and the new Avid HD I/O converters.”
