My favorite takeaway was when I said "Man, this sounds great! You really can hear the warmth from the analog tape." His response: "I have no idea what you're talking about." He just stared, waiting for me to respond. As a young man of 29 years I had never felt so stupid in my life. He timed it well though, and followed up with an explanation of the mics he was using and his disdain for ProTools.

In 2009 my band traveled from Nashville to Chicago for the honor of recording with Steve at Electrical Audio. We loved his drum tones and his use of analog tape in a live band setting.

He was quirky, brilliant, quiet, and kind of hilarious to work with. He wore disheveled blue coveralls with a lowercase "e" on the back for 5 straight days.

They fed us as many lattes we could stomach for all hours of the day, and he didn't even care if we smoked cigarettes the entire time. Slept on cots in his building, while he stayed in his "personal" area.

Watching him cut 2 inch tape the old fashioned way was one of the nerd highlights of my life. RIP Steve, and thank you.
