admire her attitude towards recording, might have to adopt some o that. Also the comments about her not being economical - apparently she likes to use fairly budget mics. For example, she once recorded Billy Corgan and everyone in the session blind tested a variety of mics on his vocal ranging from mega expensive/hyped to a humble wee SM58 - the 58 won in that particular instance. So she's probably saving some money there towards her piano smashin fund...
So much fun and so inspirational. Can't stop watching these Sylvia Videos. OMG!!! I just realized I think I worked with her at Tower Records when I first moved to Hollywood!! I thought she looked familiar. Oh man now we have to work together.
Sylvia is so inspiring. I say it all the time. While there is a basic standard in sound there really isn't any rules that dictate how we create. Having fun creating should be the goal. You have to experiment.
Sylvia is crazy! Crazy good!!! Love her free spirit and willingness to try it all. I play in a Country & Western dance band here in Las Vegas about as far from what she does with Tool and the rest as you can get but what she does and stands for transcends the musical style. Amazing. Come and produce us, we are ready. :)
It's interesting because the piece she talks about, "Disgutipated" really isn't all that loud. What they did do was use those sounds as percussive elements which artistically brilliant and amazingly practical.
Sylvia massy is a Great producer recorder and mixer of music 🌹 I love her pro studio and her job , and she is a very pretty woman too ;) Analog song is amazing!
It's a shame she never produced a Sonic Youth album. Their unconventional, experimental sound with her unconventional experimental approach would've been amazing.

@@higbyprigby9648 This comment is really really stupid. She's like, the person who's known for using the shittest stuff. She's made plenty of records spending less than $3k, because her bands play live.
Gotta have the silliness behind the madness of a Mad professor...The world will never get the mind of an Electronic engineer of the future. I still love the Pickle powered sound trickle !!!
wow, je suis tellement impressionné. Sylvia tu es géniale. I got 5 tapes recorders 1\4 in studer, otari, ampex mono and it's so fun to create with those; youre right.
Whenever people talk microphones diagrams and things to do or not to do, I'm always kind of flabbergasted. Recording is pretty much only experimenting. My dad started recording during the mid-60's when the first Neumann came to French studios and they figured out how to use those new microphones at the time to record a certain tone of vocals that we later on called the "french touch". You had to figure ou everything. They only had plate reverbs and EQ, maybe compressor, but my dad never used one. The 24 tracks console he was using had to be custom-ordered by his boss because there wasn't a 24 tracks at the time... and if you plugged something the wrong way, it immediately fried on you. Oh and the noise floors were 10x higher than the most basic USB interface you could get... Today have all the tools in the world yet I find engineers to be so damn conservative. Refreshing to see this!
I wish I could have experimented more when I was working in a studio but my clients always had limited budgets so I had very little time for that sort of thing.
The "Speaker-As-A-Microphone" trick was first used by The Beatles while recording the 'Paperback Writer'/'Rain' single. Geoff Emerick almost got fired for doing that!
I'll record a drumset on ISS when I get the chance. When the recording is finished I'll record a special FX for the outro: Drumset being sucked out into space trough airlock...maybe the Drummer will join for dramatic effect...depends on his performance :P
Just met you an subscribed.. 1 word sold me😉 ANOLOG... An your passion for it.. An the way you bring out the gadgets... My first video watching of you and all the gadgets around the tinker with to make all these neat sounds. Was always fascinating to me... You Lady Sylvia Rock!!!!👍🤘🤘🎸🎸😉😉 PS. Are you the original inspiration behind Tools art??????😉😳😆😆
@@nicholascowan1731 Steve is more methodical in his approach (complete sound insulation, traditional recording techniques, fully analog recording process). Sylvia is more experimental and unconventional
She recorded on a submarine!!😀 QUESTION: How would you record under water vocals??? Or have a speaker under water? I guess it exists in swimming pools..would have to reverse the wires and scream into it!! Would that work? QUESTION 2: Do any of you go out and record environments to play over? To inspire the band's music? Desert, the ocean, a factory, street noise, a carnival? I know you could just pull them up from a sound bank but... How would you go about recording that? With a Zoom H4N or something similar? Like the piano falling idea. Seriously, I'm gonna do that man push it off my balcony!! She inspires!! And I thanks her for leaving this awesome "legacy" for us rebels out there!! (Could call the plug ins "Massy's Rebel Legacy")
I'd love to see a collab with her & Andrew Huang. I feel like they have enough similarities in approach that they'd hit it off, but she could teach him so much about analogue stuff.
What a passion she shows us!!! A true artist with a creative/intelligent open mind...:) My deep respect for Sylvia!!
Sylvia Massy is a class act. Totally undersells herself in every interview. Amazing talent!
Got her book "Recording Unhinged" a couple of weeks ago. Loving it. Some awesome tips and stories in there.
Sylvia Massy has made some of the best sounding records of all time, love her work sooo much, what a legend!!!
I love the painted art. And everything else! This is a fantastic and motivating video. Thanks Sylvia!

I don't even know what records she's produced but she's one of my favorites solely because she paints during sessions

I love Sylvia. She’s a genius. I would love to work with her.
Very cool techniques with impressive catalog. Thank you Sylvia, Guitar Doors Record Label.

"He had a shotgun"

"He started shooting the piano"

btw, don´t try the amp thing if you don´t know what you´re doing... You´re gonna fry you valve amp using it with no load.
Shhe did say is was a solid state amp
I wish I could have experimented more when I was working in a studio but my clients always had limited budgets so I had very little time for that sort of thing.
She is So crazy, LOVE HER!
What a beautiful spirit. I aspire only to be 'big enough' to work with her someday.
creative genius... love it!
yup,,, very similar,,, great to meet u
she's so greattttt
This lady is incredible
Sylvia is freaking awesome
Niiiicccee! I am a computer science EE professional for decades, but I bow down to you!
However, I think you really need some dynamite!
Beard Guy101 - you are probably right. Maybe I shouldn’t have recommended the dynamite 🧨
The "Speaker-As-A-Microphone" trick was first used by The Beatles while recording the 'Paperback Writer'/'Rain' single. Geoff Emerick almost got fired for doing that!
Raymond Kitchen it’s nice seeing the origin of the trick. Every time I see a producer in a video mention they act like they invented it
amazingly inspirational
What an amazing person!
Recording bass in a submarine. Go ahead and top that one!
I'll record a drumset on ISS when I get the chance. When the recording is finished I'll record a special FX for the outro: Drumset being sucked out into space trough airlock...maybe the Drummer will join for dramatic effect...depends on his performance :P
Pauline Oliveros recorded in a giant empty cistern. "Deep Listening". A musical treasure.
I so! want her to talk about, or even briefly mentioned? her work with the band "Machines of Loving Grace"
Just met you an subscribed..

She is briliant
outstanding!
She is so awesome...
She's the complete opposite of Steve Albini and I love it!
How so ?
@@nicholascowan1731 Steve is more methodical in his approach (complete sound insulation, traditional recording techniques, fully analog recording process). Sylvia is more experimental and unconventional
The 14 people that dont like this, have got to be boring. Stay creative and work with no limits.
Thank you for the advices!
One of the Greats with a great sound..Also A Thumper Custom Kit Yeah!
hi sylvia , where can i find your book , i like very much your way of recording and i learn a lot ,thanks
That was inspiring, thank you!
she's my hero...and friend...
"Sound that's in my ear's eye" :) ^_^
What is the average potato impedance? I love Sylvia!
Great Sylvia
Excellent!
I love that you don’t use a conventional control room!
She's great.
Sylvia Massy just made my list of “people I’d most like to party with someday”
I love how experimental she is
wow she's creative
i like her passion for music. u can see it in her eyes. \\M//
what a lady!
very impressive
Bloody fantastic

To record under water you put the microphone in a condom (I'm not joking) and just place it in a pool or something
I think there are contact mics you can do that with
Ok i think she is one of the best knowlege inginner im surprised
Musically relevant, aesthetically inspired, spiritually charged, joy infused, who-wouldn't-want-to-play there Studio!
What plugins did she create with waves? Are they available?
Genius Mam
I like that the Razor Bladed amp speaker was from a Line 6. :D
I'd love to see a collab with her & Andrew Huang. I feel like they have enough similarities in approach that they'd hit it off, but she could teach him so much about analogue stuff.
She’s a blast!
She is the single coolest woman on earth
What an imagination, the true spirit of music
