I think he referred to not being able to work on the DVD because something got in the way (I remember those James tweets from last summer) but that he's working on the album now. Or something like that.
Not working on the DVD in loco, but he did his job at home with the recorded tracks, right?
I think... not?
Dammit can anyone who actually makes a difference between mixing, mastering, recording and engineering and who can make heads and tails over which guy was working on what release in the DT/prog world come hither and clarify everything since my head is in such a mess right now
recording - setting up mics, recording the sounds that come out, edit tracks, cut and paste pro tools (or tape if analogue is used)
mixing - putting together the recorded sounds from each instrument (some case for each track, like 24 microphones (24 tracks) from the drumset, keys, etc...)
mastering - leveling the sound equalizers to a constant level, fades ins/outs/, track sequence and ID.
