"Nightfly" is one of the earliest example a fully digital recorded master and digital mastering. Album engineer Roger Nichols conducted experiments and found that the digital recordings sounded better than those recorded to magnetic tape. To prepare for this LP and use of the new the digital technology, the album's engineers took classes at 3M in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The Nightfly was recorded using 3M's new 32-track and four-track digital recorders
