Steve Albini’s Electrical Audio Studios Rock the Windy City

Producer Steve Albini had a specific vision when he founded Electrical Audio in 1997. The Chicago recording studio went against the grain of the digital age and used exclusively analog equipment. Albini had never been a fan of digital recording so the studio he built featured top of the line analog set-ups all around including the tape recorders and mixing decks.

In 2007, some digital capabilities were added, but the studio assured everyone that Albini had not experienced a change of heart in relation to digital technology. Instead, Greg Norman, a studio technician, pointed out that while ProTools had been added to the studio’s equipment as it had become as vital a piece of equipment as a piano and Albini recognized this fact, he still did not embrace the technology.

In addition to Electrical Audio’s two studios, facilities include a lounge and a kitchen along with private offices for the clients. Those offices include a washer and dryer as well as a shower and private bathroom. With high speed internet available and a library of over 500 films, Electrical Audio is perfect for the band that wants to settle in somewhere that allows them to feel at home while recording.
