I know there's not like tons of reverb, or any kind of hi-tech stuff going on, but they pretty clearly tweaked the compression settings and the EQ. Just between the regular part of the song and the drum break there's a distinct shift in the sound that is more than just Clyde hitting harder. Do you know what kind of compression approach they were taking? |
James Brown was not a "techincal person" per se and he recorded in many studios that were not up to par.
There just might have been s studio somewhere in the Carolinas that was available on short notice and he whipped the fellas into shape,went in,got a level,cut,got a copy and split.
Fred Wesley,JBs trombonist and band leader is a good friend of mine,so Ill call and ask the specifics on that one and then Ill post the results.
