i can't figure out why thread like this and similar recent ones show so little respect for seasoned AEs with great credentials. walter sears got skewered here too. sure albini and he are opinionated, but they have skills like crazy. they have specific recording philosophies, and that's cool. maybe it's not what you are into. but i'd rather listen to albini and decide which approaches to AE work i could bring to my prjects then read a ten page thread on whether or not you plug di's into di's. really, you don't have to agree with everything albini or anyone else says, but i think the quality of his work is reason enough for a certain amount of respect. and if it isn't for you, than so be it. but yes, people with no album sales to speak of have to jump on this thread to piss all over him? gimme a break. it's not all about what gear to buy or whether or not you like all the bands he's recorded, it's about the fact that the length and breadth of albini's career and info are good reason to at least hear him out. i'll be listening to it to in a day when i am going to be cleaning up the studio, should be an interesting listen. i say enjoy the info!
