joliet-jakeErgänzung zur Moderation gerade: CM hat ein Setup während einer Aufnahmesession selten verändert. Mal sehen. Ob ich ein entsprechendes Zitat von Allen Toussaint noch finde…
Korrektur, das Zitat stammt von Dr. John:

Matassa was not a producer and independent label entrepreneur, like Sam Phillips, but as an engineer, he was skilled at microphone placement and capturing the sound of New Orleans R&B with a naturalistic feel.
As explained by Dr. John in John Broven’s Rhythm and Blues in New Orleans, „Cosimo was the type of engineer who believed in one type of scene. He would set the knobs for the session and very rarely moved anything. If the piano was mixed too low at the beginning it would stay mixed too low until the end of the session, unless the producer came and changed it. But this was how record sessions were conducted for a long time. He developed what is known as the ‚Cosimo Sound‘ which was strong drums, heavy bass, light piano, heavy guitar and light horn sound and a strong vocal lead.“
