A sneak peek of Sylvia Massy's 'Recording A Band' series in which she experiments with inserting household objects such as pickles and lightbulbs into the signal chain.
Join us at The Village studios for a masterclass in creative recording techniques with engineer Sylvia Massy! Hosted at Studio A with rock band The Melvins, this in-depth series takes you on the journey from equipment choice and microphone placement to tracking, production, and the rough mix. Using a Neve 8048 console and outboard compression, Massy explains her signal flow and session setup, discusses the source material, and crafts her sound for drums, bass, guitar, strings, and vocals. She records live performances of the band, adds overdubs, and implements a few unconventional ideas of her own to culminate in an exciting rough mix of the song! - เพลง

He really has the look of someone that plays guitar through a pickle
Totally lol
He looks like he may even play his pickle through a guitar as well
Couldn’t be more true. Thanks for the laugh I needed
He could probably use his pickle as a guitar and still sound good. Buuuzzz
😂
What is the best pickle for a warm analog-pickle sound? Also I don't have much money so I'm looking for a good dill.
I once used a poop to conduct speaker current. But it sounded bad. One could say that it sounded like... Uhhhh not good. What's the word I'm looking for.....hmmmm
Thank you
Meanwhile, we're all debating what interface is better than the other and what pre amp this and that.
Pretty sure even Sylvia still records her clean lead vocals through her best and most full range equipment. All of this weird stuff is for vibe when you need it.
@@thebetterspidey6115 of course. Not the point of my comment, though. I guess I was trying to use the comment as an opportunity to shine light on how "focus geared" we are now days. That's all.
I'm sure 99% of her work is done in a very traditional and of course (in her case) high budget signal chain.
@@thebetterspidey6115 Actually she often said she'd record vocals on SM57 through anything lying around. She loves API and Neve preamps though.
@@Charlyfromthenuclearcity yep for vocals she’d do 2 versions of takes, one hd and one mangled
HahahhHh so true!!
People obsess over Mogami cables and stuff. Sylvia runs her audio through pickles and sounds better than most waw
That’s the magic of a good ear, experience and a measure of creative genius
@@alexe8375 indeed
Why not both? I'd run Mogami cables into a pickle, but I wouldn't trust any lesser quality cable, because it wouldn't resist the corrosion :P
Sylvia is just amazing. We should all try to be the Positive Pickle.
The 52 downvoters on this video are negative pickles.
You have to put all the energy into the 🥒 pickels.
When Waves release a digitally modelled pickle we’re all gonna buy it aren’t we?
I'll have to wait for a waves "sale". 😂
Unfortunately, it will be the CLA-Pickle plugin.
@@jamesdegrandis So you're saying it will be CPU heavy, huh? 😏
@@marc_leblanc Maybe we need a "Smokin' Sylvia's Pickle Plugin"... Um... That sounds dirty... She would like that. ;-)
I heard Slate Digital is going to offer it with the Everything Bundle. 😂.
“Unplug the drill and plug in the pickles” is not a sentence I hear often in the studio.
The mad scientist of recording. What an inspiration
Slyvia Massey always manages to turn these larger-than-life artists into kids in the best way possible.
Replaced all my tubes in my 5150 with Kosher dills.
haha
lol
haha..m thinking if mango pickle would work..i would be one up sylvia..hehe
Unless you’re using those Soviet-era kosher dills with extra garlic, you might as well be using sweet pickle relish from a plastic food court packet.
Funniest shit I've ever seen
..that gives me an idea..
@@petergedd9330 cursed comment
Sylvia is a legend. She spoke to my microphones class recently. Pickle queen
Massive respect to Sylvia, her style in the studio is legendary! Huge fan of the Melvins too 🖤
I kid you not, He turned himself into a pickle. It's the funniest shit I've ever seen.
Sylvia is the mad scientist aunt we all aspire to have in our childhood.
So honoured to have had a guest lecture from her at my university, such an amazing and creative person. I love it!!!
i just love Sylvia, always keeping the process creative and fun 🖤 and that solo was liiiiit
Oh yeah, love the new Marshall "Pickle Rick" signature amp.
So delightfully cool!! Sylvia is magic.
This is so AWESOME! 🎸🔊
Spent money on a Way Huge pedal years ago when a jar of Klaussen pickles would have been fine. We live; we learn.
I was a huge Melvins fan in the 90’s. Saw them a few times at Mississippi Nights. They were the loudest band I’d heard at age 17. Wow.
i love how each member of melvins played a part
I got to meet her in 2019 at Gear Fest. Super awesome lady!
Member that one where Dethklok used water as a recording platform?
I do like how her idea in the event that the pickles start to emit smoke or even flame is, "we should dim the lights in here, so we can see how fucking cool it looks". I love her.
Happy to see that I can go gear shopping in the vegetable aisle during these hard times 👏 Surprised Waves hasn't released The Pickle by Abbey Road yet
😂 “yet” - 👆 Not until they get it just right - every nuance. If you close your eyes, you would swear that you were playing through a real [Insert English pickle brand here] dill pickle.
I feel like recording guitar through pickles is probably the most Melvins thing you could do.
Negative Pickles is a legit Melvins' song title.
ugh, typical super producers... when will they understand that not everyone can afford dill pickles
Nice to watch a band such as Melvins like kids making experiments.A good spirit !!! This guys are exemples not only for Kurt Cobain.Respect
Suddenly i have the urge to to plug my guitar on anything that conducts, just to see what happens.
You gotta amp it first, otherwise there’s not enough signal out of the guitar to do anything.
@@joshuagavaghan224 DON'T YOU SAAAAYYY.
Outrageous tone, through the lightbulb, super goddamn cool!
Beautiful guitar
I LOVE THIS 🥰
Now this is crazy awesome.
Sylvia, what a legend
Wow Buzz's tone really brightens up through the lightbulb!
I forget the name but I saw a few weeks ago a fuzz pedal that has a section for you to put liquid in to try all different kinds of stuff for different tone.
Double lightbulb solo was badass
Sylvia is my favorite!
Thank you
I thought it was a goof then she actually hooked up them pickles
I was in a band back in ‘91 called Negative Pickle.
This was positively kind-blowing.
That lightbulb experiment kinda reminds me of the GCA plasma pedal. Great video!
This is some surreal shit! Absolutely ridiculous idea lol but really entertaining video
Pickle Rick really need to check this video out 🙏 creativity has no bound 💎
I like her ideas. It fun for sure.
Was that vocal recorded trough the room mic? I have the feeling that RX was used to bring that sound up. Sad that the distorted kick spills on my right HP. (irony mode off) :D
Engineers trynna guard their secret sauce, meanwhile Sylvia guards her secret pickles
I'm looking for Pickle Mixing in the Berklee Online course catalog; not coming up, any help?
Do you need a particular brand of pickle? I’m based in the UK if it helps
that fuzz sound is actually brilliant.
Love the book! Recording Unhinged is the title for those interested!
watching the melvins and sylvia massy tracking while blazing a joint. what more can you ask for
was the light bulb tone coming from just the light bulb or did he have a distortion pedal too? (i'm pretty buzzed, can't pay full attention)
✌😆
She’s the best!!!!
Life-changer
The light bulb is a great idea!😁
Does anyone know the talkback system she is using in the controlroom?
She’s a mad scientist of sound! I love it. “Kosher, of course”
I've never heard the word pickle so much in my life
Does anyone know what album she recorded with the melvins?
Now that pickle-eating dude can sing a low Bb. .... I thought for sure this was a late April Fool’s joke or Sylvia had finally jumped the shark. But no, once again it was real!
Negative Pickle was the name of the band I was in back in high school.
That’a wild!
I love how she wills on the fire. Gotta love this lady! Plug in the pickles.
Putting all the energy into the pickles hahahaha 😂
Will a Katz Deli green pickle produce a different tone?
Sometimes people call me crazy for looking for the right angles (for reflections from the live room)...
I am definetely too sane and need to learn from her :D
Is there a plug in?
how much it costs is 20k$ enough to have that sound? I need it for my demo, do I need Sylvia to come to install everything?? I'm new
Buzz Osborne's face on the picture called me. Sylvia Massy... Pickle. Amazement.
When are the long overdue Massy plug ins coming ?
light bulb is optical distortion similiar to an optical distortion or diod distortion
I had to check this wasn’t published on April 1st
Studio go boom
Waves to release their new Sylvia Massey Signature Pickle-Tron VST plugin for $39.99. Features switchable pickle types, sizes, etc. But just like every other Waves product, it doesn't sound like actually inserting a pickle as a buffer on your speaker cable.
How does she come up with this stuff??
Vc é foda, Sylvia!
Was this recorded on the first of April?
Is this actually for a new melvins album?
Negative Pickle - great band name.
POSITIVE PICKLE POWER!!!
i had to check to see if it was april 1st
Oh shit...Here comes the Waves Pickler, 29.99 for a limited time!
I'm sold! 😄
[portlandia IRL]
Lol, so cool! Major crush on Silvia
Lol. We want popcorn in the next video!
Is this from the new album??
Pickle Simplified! 🙌
Just another day at the office with Silvia Massy
I prefer to let my pickles get old and mouldy first, to get a more vintage sound.
Who doesn't want to play their guitar thru a pickle! Giving Buzz all kinds of ideas for the next Melvins song.
The pickles are easy to find but where can I get a hair cut like that?
The Melvins!
THIS seems like something from Spinal Tap ..lol this pickle goes to 11
Prince certainly had a good eye for talent!
some years ago JHS Pedals had an April Fool video about lightbulb pedal. can't believe it actually became reality
