- Steve Albini is one of the most respected figures in the international independent music scene. As a renowned artist, music journalist, industry commentator and recording engineer, Steve is a champion of independent business models for artists to thrive and to release their work outside of the corporate music industry structure.
He has engineered over 1500 albums, including for some of the world’s most seminal and pioneering rock acts such Nirvana, the Pixies, PJ Harvey and The Stooges.

Albini has recorded, mixed engineered some mega-selling albums. But he charges a flat fee, does not demand the common royalties/points.
props to the cameraman for persevering thru a severe bout of parkinsons
a room full of sound engineers and no mic for the audience
There is a great juxtaposition between Steve and the moderator in this video: Steve is humble and makes a solid argument in favor of not passing judgment upon tastes whereas the moderator often makes condescending comments similar to many industry snobs I’ve met in my career (the space echo USB joke, correcting grammar in the questions segment). Steve really sticks out to me because he’s always extricated himself from the norm, in this case, the professional engineer who belittles in order to counteract their insecurity. Steve is comfortable and confident and never arrogant. I’ve learned so much from listening to him talk about the philosophy of music production, as opposed the the onslaught of gear marketing content disguised as informative/inspirational production advice. Stay golden, Albini-boy.
“If you have a any further questions feel free to send me an email or whatever, I’m always around” RIP Steve 😢
RIP Steve. You really were one of my heroes. Gonna miss you much.
This is terribly a huge fucking loss....I'm not musician or any sort, but I have utmost respect for him. The fact that I will not hear anything from him ever again is unimaginably hard to swallow.
Steve should teach art ethics. His are impeccable.
If Noam Chomski was a recording engineer, he'd be Steve Albini
"The mobile phone would be farting some mp3 at you" LOL
One might think the the people recording this master class by a renowned recording engineer could have somehow mustered up the foresight and ability to make the questions being asked at the end somehow magically be able to have been heard on the video recording. Maybe I am asking for too much.
RIP to one of the best to ever do it, music today simply would not be the same without him
goodbye, sir. rest in peace.
Man….he was something truly special.
Rip Steve, Thank you for all your amazing work
Maybe they should think about a Masterclass for video production!
I met Steve back in 1986 at a BIG BLACK/HEAD OF DAVID gig at Manchester's Archway club (across the road from the Haçienda) that I was bootlegging. He was out front in the crowd waiting for HEAD OF DAVID to come on and I struck up a conversation and asked him if it was okay if I taped BIG BLACK and he said go ahead! He even introduced HEAD OF DAVID on my tape recorder just as they came on stage!
When Steve talks it becomes clear that he was a student of history and philosophy - loads of perspective, beyond your typical modern person.
steve is such an eloquent speaker, it's a joy to listen to him speak.
Steve - we miss you so much already. ❤
