Billy Corgan welcomed Vig's elaborate production on The Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream. Cobain said that "Butch Vig.recorded the album perfectly," in a 1993 MTV interview. Cobain would later criticize Vig for the album's slickness, although this might be due to Andy Wallace's mixing of the album. Kurt Cobain originally refused to double-track his vocals and guitars but Vig reportedly got him to comply by saying " John Lennon double-tracked". Vig incorporated overdubs and vocal double tracking, whereas Nirvana's previous album, Bleach (produced by Jack Endino) had a more " lo-fi" sound. Vig's first high-profile production work was in 1991, when he produced albums by two bands, The Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and Nirvana's Nevermind.

Marker and Vig also started a small label, Boat Records, to release records of Spooner – which included their 1979 debut EP, "Cruel School" – and other bands they liked, which led to around twenty local acts. The following year, Vig helped Marker to build a home studio in Marker's basement. Vig joined a number of garage pop bands, including Eclipse, and in 1978 formed Spooner with Duke Erikson, Dave Benton, Jeff Walker and Joel Tappero. This soundtrack work stirred Vig's interest in the manipulation of sound. Vig contributed several electronic music soundtrack pieces to low-budget films, including one song on Slumber Party Massacre, a Hollywood B-movie. While a student at the University of Wisconsin, Vig met his eventual Garbage bandmate Steve Marker.
