Rainer is not Chief Producer at DG, at least he wasn’t when I was VP of A&R at the label. In fact no such job title exists there. EBS was successfully bought out by the management from DG,so this is all a bit misleading.
NL: Matthew – I call Rainer ‘one of DG’s top producers’ which he was, and I’ve clarified the ownership situation of the EB studios.

Seems like a PR gimmick to me. There’s nothing preventing musicians from recording on a superior digital recorder in a single take.
Emil Berliner Studios has nothing to do with DG anymore, there was a buyout and the company is independent.
