Reader’s Choice Electrical Audio

Say what you will about Steve Albini and his trollish personal politics—the man has done real good in the form of Electrical Audio. Albini’s slavish devotion to analog recording has led him to assemble one of the world’s best places to put jams down on tape, and the same DIY mentality that’s inspired many a rant is also responsible for the studio’s indie-friendly pricing structure. No, it’s not the cheapest studio in town, but you get more for your money than at comparable pro-grade studios.  2621 W. Belmont, 773-539-2555, electrical.com, rates (including a staff engineer other than Albini or righthand man Greg Norman) start at $500/day. —Miles Raymer
