Toontrack Alt-Rock EZX with Steve Albini
Posted: Feb 24, 2017 4:26 am
Another day, another EZX expansion. Thought this one was worth highlighting though as it's from a hugely popular yet woefully under-represented genre - Indie / Alt-Rock.
Moreover, the producer Steve Albini is a genuine legend. I saw a TV programme about him recently working with Foo Fighters, and it looked at his maverick history recording Nirvana, The Pixies and PJ Harvey. Most amazing thing I learned - to this day he never takes percentages, only an upfront payment, so never benefits from the huge successes such is In Utero. He did say he keeps nearly going under making the £30k monthly payments keeping his Electrical Audio studio in Chicago running, which is where this expansion was recorded.
