Its kind of like saying Mannie Fresh's sound is the work of an engineer, and not unique composition using particular gear Really, I think shawty red is one of the top producers in the game right now, and I don't think his sound can be put down to high end studio engineering alone. (and have noticeably less bottom end boom than the shawty red tracks - compare Go Crazy to Trap or Die) If you look at the production credits, most of the classic Jeezy sounding tracks were done by Shawty Red, whereas the other tracks by Don Cannon, Mannie Fresh and Collipark are really abberations from the sound of the rest of the album and Jeezy's preceding mixtapes. Thirdly, I think the overall sound of the album that you refer to comes from Shawty Redd's production and not the engineering because a) Shawty Redd did about 70% of the album, and b) according to the thread about the 808 boom used on the album, hardly any processing was used in the tracking/mixdown. Secondly I got a widely leaked version of the album that came out about 4 months before the actual album and had totally different mixes than the final album, and Shawty Redd's tracks didn't undergo nearly as much changes as the tracks produced by other producers, like Don Cannon's "Go Crazy" beat. For one thing a bunch of the Shawty Red tracks were originally on the Streets is Watchin mixtape that came out before jeezy even had the album deal and they had the same bangin sound then.
