Steve Albini recorded the first Usherhouse release on Cleopatra records. I was the guitarist of the band. We tracked at Chicago Recording Company (CRC) studio and then mixed at his house/basement studio. We recorded on 2 inch tape and he made some edits by slicing the tape. He is crazy fast. He does have a collection of really cool mics and knows how to get really honest/organic tone out of your gear. It was amazing.

These are great. Love Albini, great guy, brilliant engineer, but funny he chose to go after stories about Page talking about mic placement as an example of all stories about recording being bullshit. No doubt the vast majority are pure hooey, but the hallmark of Albini's technique is largely mic choice/placement; what set him apart from other producers early on was his approach to getting the sounds right on tape and using room ambience, rather than processing and reverb-ing and tweezing everything after the fact, just like guys like Glyn Johns and Page used to do.

I find it fascinating where Steve Albini and I differ on what kind of credit is owed to a sound engineer. If a band wanted to record a live album then yes he's 100% right in that neither the producer or the sound engineer should be paid "like a plumber" and recieve no album royalties. But for an LP or EP recorded in a studio away from the band's usual playing environment I feel the circumstances are different. 1) Most bands go to a recording studio to make an album precisely because they want a different sound from their live sound. 2) Most bands what a [insert record producers name here] sound. Once that happens it's no longer just the bands creativity anymore. 3) A band might want to have a record producer help develop their sound in a new direction. All of these points I feel warrant the inclusion of a sound engineer (producer is a bit different but Steve Albini was odd in that on In Utero he served essentially as both a sound engineer and album producer) as receiving royalties. A super small percentage, but still a percentage. To reiterate those 3 points a last time it's because the sound is being changed outside of the bands usual sound which I feel warrants inclusion of royalties. But I'm guessing that Steve Albini's perspective is that only idiots want to allow outsiders to muck up their sound, and that the "Steve Albini" sound of recording isn't really due to him adding anything but simply making the band sound as live as possible. But again a lot of bands don't want to go into a recording studio to sound like a live band. A lot do in the Punk and Indie scenes, but I personally think that those bands cannot have an authentic sound inside a recording studio without causing some kind of musical ideological contradiction. It's not too dissimilar to how most Nordic Black metal bands like their Death Metal on the low end recording side because to them clean death metal is too contradictory for them. Like oh we're in a zombie apocalypse but somehow everything is in 4K allowing us to see the shitty seems of the masks and makeup.
@michaelgraflmusic Жыл бұрын
Consider this: When a band decides to engage a producer, they've often spent years honing their unique aesthetic and sound. This extensive effort goes beyond just crafting an album but involves years of refining their musical identity. How do you evaluate the value of a mere two weeks of a producer's work against the backdrop of a band's lifetime commitment to creating an exciting, original sound and a catalogue of exceptional songs?
@DrLothar Жыл бұрын
Steve's got pretty strict but totally logical ethics he follows. He let's the band play their stuff and get's it on tape. That's what he's known for and that's what the bands want when they go to record with him. With that attitude, it seems reasonable that you'd charge for the service and not get a percentage. I think he fancies himself kinda like a plumber - you get them to do the piping but you don't pay them extra every time you flush the toilet. Now, if a band should want outside creative input from a producer, then surely they would want to work with someone who's comfortable with that, and let them have percentage, why not. Btw, really big chunk of the og norwegian black metal was recorded in a very real studio within the concert hall of the Bergen philharmonic orchestra.

Because people were already toying with mic placement. It's not like mics and putting them in different places didn't exist before Jimmy Page. The book writes about Page doing it like he was reinventing the process with the care and skill of a Renaissance artist. Albini's take on production is like a plumber. You put the damn amp down and then place the mic where it needs to be for the sound you want. Albini always enjoys demystifying bullshit rock lore, which is why he freely shares his techniques on his amazing KZbin channel.

Out of all the "Dave Davies poked holes in his speakers to invent distortion" hogwash stories out there he picked something that's central to his own approach to go after. Love the guy but that was just...curious

Jimmy Page did not play the leads on The Who (Pete Townsend) and The Kinks (Dave Davies) records. At best, he added a layer of rhythm guitar. I am so tired, of this particular myth and those who propagate it. It is a backhanded way to slag those two bands very important, innovative, wonderful lead guitarists. There are 60s British charts hits especially, that Page played lead on, but not the lead guitar parts for those two amazing bands. Bald Headed woman was an inferior B-Side that Shel Talmy fobbed off on both The Who and the The Kinks. Most likely Page played the lead on those tracks, but not on the groundbreaking hits. Too much live playing video (not lip sync) for both bands video that backs this up too. Thanks.

They stole it from a Sesame Street song, as is Grohl’s pathetic habit. He’s really just a Dracula

Dave keeps hogging the show. Chris just sits and barely says anything.

Ya I wonder if he is wondering "why am I here"?.... Krist was actually an integral part of the band's secret sauce, and his bass rifts are much underappreciated. He founded the band with Kurt. He is a legend. But seems Kurt gets all the credit, like a grunge Jesus.

Which you wouldn't have expected back during the Nirvana days. Back then Krist was always the one talking to the audience in live concerts, with Kurt chiming in here and there. Dave always spoke the least.
