Steve Albini, one of my engineering/producing/music making heroes passed away today at the age of 61. He worked with some of the most influential bands of the 80's including Nirvana and the Pixies and other bands of that time that defined the 80's and 90's grunge/punk sound. I played in a punk band in NYC in the 80's and would always listen to his productions. I also always enjoyed reading interviews and articles he wrote including this one ...The Problem with Music www.thebaffler.com/salvos/the-problem-with--music Its harsh but true and should be recommended reading for all fledgling audio engineers. He was the rare engineer/musician/producer who really knew how to do all of those things very well, a dying breed these days.
