"Name an audio engineer or producer that you admire, and indicate the most important reason for your admiration?"

It's an application on the school I'm applying to, I've got my thoughts, what are some of yours?

Joey JoJo:
Rick Rubin, for his versatility and ability to get everything sounding good.

Will:
I assume you're looking for people involved in music production?  For that, I'm a big fan of Kurt Ballou (guitarist for Converge, runs Godcity Studios) for the fact that almost everything he records has that raw, gritty, live-sounding quality to it that's just so perfect for the style of music he most often works with.  Matt Bayles is another guy I think does some superb work; he's recorded everyone from Minus The Bear to Mastodon to Isis, plus collaborated with Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.  If you're interested in seeing his full discography, you can see it here. 

alexalexalex:
Jon Brion for amazing vocals and inspired arrangements

Steve Albini (who would write a very scathing response if he knew I'd just referred to him as a producer) for 1000 Hurts and various other sexy drum recordings [edit] and also being a fucking cool dude, and being dead on about the record industry, and not charging big-name-producer rates even though he easily could.

ScrambledGregs:
I can't say I really admire producers, but I think Steve Albini has a way of cutting through a lot of extraneous bullshit to get a band to sound like how they should. For my money, the best stuff Low ever did was with him in the producer's chair.

A couple names that I can't specifically discuss their merits are John McEntire, Dave Fridmann, and Nigel Godrich. They've worked with a lot of people, and the albums sound really good when all is said and done. ::shrugs::
