Minutes to Midnight was recorded and mixed in the digital domain at 96/24. Those flat master files are the audio source for the One-Step pressing. It was recorded at The Mansion in Laurel Canyon, produced by Rick Rubin and Mike Shinoda and mixed by Neal Avron - all legends at their craft. But the secret sauce of why this One-Step sounds so incredible were the engineers capturing the music. Andrew Scheps, Ethan Mates, Dana Nielsen and Protools engineer Erich Talaba showed up at work every day delivering career defining results. - Because Sound Matters' meticulous One-Step process creates the definitive sounding audiophile version of an album - and the third release from Because Sound Matters One-Step is Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight.
