As I understand it The Miracle Innuendo and Made In Heaven were recorded in Digital except Too Much Love Will Kill You on MIH which was recorded Analog.

Is that ture or were earlyer Albums recorded in Digital ? ie A Kind Of Magic.
"The Beatles were the first but Queen were the best"
In an interview I have on CD with Freddie from 84', He says that "The Works" was their first digital recording. I can only assume that all albums thereafter were digital as well. Hope that helps! :D
"Elton John and I became really good friends. I don't mean 'good friends' in that sense. I just mean we slept together." -Billy Joel
I thought it was only from The Miracle onwards...
"The Beatles were the first but Queen were the best"
Danno's right. Works onwards were digital.
Does anyone know why Too Much Love Will Kill You was recorded Analog ?
"The Beatles were the first but Queen were the best"
I don't know. But perhaps the studio it was being recorded at was analog only.

Adam.
The Works was recorded Analog and mastered digital.

AKOM was recorded digital.

Buy CDs - Works had "ADD" on the back, AKOM had "DDD". Everything Hot Space back was "AAD"
That's true, the CDs do tell you.

Hah, "ADD"...

Does anyone know which albums were recorded using Dublin noise reduction?

Works ---- ADD = Analog recording, Digital mixing, Digital transfer.

Hence why from Works onwards, things were sounding quite different.

Peace,
Adam.
It's a Beautiful Day was recorded Analogue
"On the first day Pim & Niek created a heavenly occupation. Pim & Niek blessed it and named it 'Loosch'." (Genesis 1:1)
Only vocals and maybe some pianos, but the rest is digital.
