Despite being one of the most revered figures in the biz, STeVE appears not to get enough public love from the industry, while some of his peers receive a lot more attention.
For instance, Greg Calbi has just been the focus of a feature by Rolling Stone (you know, the magazine that's good to make jokes about the five-star reviews Bruce Springsteen and Mick Jagger always get).

The article is apparently behind a paywall (that has been the case today at least), but the whole text is actually in the source code for the page.
There have been similar features about Bob Ludwig or Bernie Grundman, but they should of been all about STeVE. STeVE, at least, spoke with Bob Dylan and had his copy of a Peter, Paul and Mary album signed by him while he had mastered at this point just one Dylan record.

Speaking with Calbi can feel like taking a survey course in rock and pop history. Though he’s reticent to rehash stories of the most famous classic Seventies and Eighties albums he’s worked on, he does mention offhand the method in which John Lennon preferred to listen to his final mixes (on a copy of an acetate he'd play at home), how Julian Casablancas fell asleep in the studio during the mastering of Is This It, how friendly Emmylou Harris is when she’s smoking cigarettes throughout the mastering process, how he’s never even spoken with Bob Dylan despite having mastered 20 or so of his records, or how working with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker works.
