Really nice cover 🥳

The face at the end looks like the typical face of a stalker who has just discovered where you live. :D

RIP! What a gread engineer he was, lest to say what increadible albums he was a part of.

Come to papa! Fkn awesome!!!

this video is now a very important piece of historical information, rest in peace man

Wow…that live room sounds incredible!! Such a cool video. Thanks for sharing

so glad i found this through your flawless scentless apprentice cover!

I’ve learned the most about drum recording, and other types of recording, from this one video than any other single place

Hoping to achieve that quality someday! Amazing cover dude

There is absolutely nothing to do here. That's why he left. Don't waste your time.

Amazing work my brothers 🙌

Still the best cover out there!

Best cover

Bro, you are so insane, incridible, exactly voice, im your fan

Perfect, insane bro

The bass guitar should hang to your knees 😐 Other than that…. It’s pretty much AZZKICKIN’ ! 🤘 (couple hundred of these “watches “ are me 😁. Keep it pumping 🤘

talk about late to the game...this just showed up on my homepage out of nowhere...anyway, my mind is fucking blown. Best one-man cover i've ever heard. Excellent work, mon frere. I'll go and check out yer shit now.

Steve Albini, 1962-2024: Reflections On The Man I Met: thirdcirclerecordings.co.uk/recording-blog/reflections-on-steve-albini/

Watching this video sort of hit me like a truck. Before, it was like I was numb to Steve’s death, but watching this it really hit me…he’s gone, man

How'd you get that tone? It sounds amazing lol

Spot on san

why not bring a real drummer for such an important task? i mean you're a sweet guy but your drumming needs a few decades worth of practicing. maybe next time consider it.

Every time I sing this song I blow my voice out doing the Away

The fact he let you do this! Because he loves audio and wanted to do it. His child was audio. That massive signature sound I love it!

Amazing! Love it!

Thank you for documenting this. I'm so gutted to never see the man live. I was really looking forward to the possibility of seeing Shellac this year. RIP Steve. You made a difference to the world.

That guitar tone is fucking disgusting id love to know how you achieved it, bites like a saw

Hoooolllllyy fuuuuuck hahahqha yesss!!!!!!!!

well, now i have some idea of what Aneurysm would've sounded if recoreded by Steve (some parallel universe out there...) ...and...Optimistiic by Radiohead (with a lil xtra snare bite at the end). u clever dog.

Damn you have that vocal down and the scream!! Fantastic!!

You crushed it!

Legendary. He could've just not told you any of that info, but he told you every last minute detail. Epic.

"I'm gonna get on my bike and go home and make dinner for my wife" RIP Steve <3

RIP Steve. I dunno why but his death ha made me much sadder than other well known people I’ve never met. He just seemed like such a clever, thoughtful, generous and funny guy and I’ll really miss being surprised by a new one of his electrical audio videos popping up randomly :(

So why is Steve doing a masonic handshake in the thumbnail pic?

This was fabulous to listen to.

I never met him, but he seemed like a genuine, good person. I always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for him, and his entire way of thinking about music. It's very upsetting to lose him so young. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. R.I.P, legend.

James; I am so glad you have made this video. I have spent a few nights each year since 2012 trying to binge as much content where Steve has been interviewed. I am not a musician or an engineer, but I find everything related to music production absolute fascinating. Revisiting this video today after initially watching it a few years ago for the first time. Hope you're well and I hope Steve is remembered positively by all. What a legend.

So long and Thanks 4 all the sound Steve!!

Very cool of you to make and share this video and very good of Steve to divulge his knowledge in such a generous manner.

What a great teacher he was. It is great that all this knowledge was recorded for everyone to watch. RIP Steve Albini, and thank you for the music!

Thanks for the video. RIP Steve

RIP Mr Albini. Since his passing I have watched a pile of Steve Albini interviews, and this may be my favourite. Thanks.

I'm serious, i can't beleive this man is no longer with us (in this world). I can't beleive it.

I’m just a few years older than Steve and when we did some live recording using my mobile unit, we shared a lot of ground. When we were forming our ideas, gaining chops as engineers, drums were acoustic instruments and tracks were few. Always. Those circumstances forced us to master the craft of capturing a drum kit. He does a good job sharing those hard to describe skills but even so, it really must be learned the hard way. In my case, and perhaps Steve’s as well, my own band was the ultimate test bench. I could spend days exploring different approaches and refining the results. If not for that, it would have taken a lot longer to be at ease with every kit. With enough time, 4 or 6 tracks was plenty to give me all I wanted at remix. With 23 available, for a complicated song, 4 was just right and occasionally a pair of those was comped from a large number of original tracks. I kinda miss those days of making big decisions and sticking to them.

One thing I would add to Steve’s comment about finding the ‘spot’ for a close mic is to block one ear while searching. That close mic is not going to hear anything vaguely like what you will hear with both ears. One ear works great to find a close tone.

I was shocked to hear of Steve passing... RIP Steve.

Rest in peace, Steve Albini....

R.I.P. Steve. 61 may have been far too young but one has to take into consideration he lived three lifetimes, one as the founder of three influential post-hardcore bands, another as an extremely talented and innovative audio engineer with a couple of thousand albums to his name, and one as an all around great guy with an infectious sense if humor.

RIP STEVE
