In the old days, with tape, drums would be recorded varying the speed of it to record a bit sped up and then brought down to the original speed, and drums would roar!! Also, you can record drums to 48k and then bring them to a 44 session en let them play at the original recorded speed and they also sound lo and punchy!!
If those drums got any bigger, they would have their own gravity. Awesome. Also, the octave drop trick is one I have lost count of how many times I've used it. It just works SO well. And yes - you have a new subscriber.
Was new for me too. I immediately tried it on a mix where I wasn’t thrilled with the body of the drum recordings, and it’s utterly magical, especially on toms.
I know this vid is a year old, but Im just learning about Sylvia Massy, and when I looked up her production credits, OMG....she's either engineered or produced for damn near all the greatest artist or bands
Every video with Sylvia Massey has a big bucket of experience and Knowledge that she is just handing to ya. Wow, thank you, mizz Massey for these vids. Inspiring as well as rich with information.
I find it both surprising and liberating to learn that an acclaimed rock producer unabashedly puts 909s under her accoustic drum tracks and pitches stuff down to make it bigger.
it's interesting but I was also kind of sad when I found out that it's standard practice to use samples. everything in rock is much more synthetic than I thought
@@Karl_Squell If more people realized this there would be a lot less hate on pop and rap music for having "no talent". Rock/metal is arguably worse these days!
@@brandenlikesbeer I agree to an extent. Guitar-based music has been pretty stagnant since, say the early 2000s and the most interesting interesting new stuff is happening elsewhere. That said, I still admire the craft a nice rock production with real mics etc. I use samples and synths all the time btw, along with my real drums and guitar in my (non-pro) studio and I think I have been layering them too at various points. I just thought it was something 'serious' producers in that genre (mostly) tried to avoid.
Sylvia, thank you!! I have been SO inspired while delving into your recording videos lately, and by your enthusiasm and energy as a person.. You're the best!!
This is a blessing to be able to watch and learn how the magic is created. Can't be thankful enough for sharing your amazing attitude and expertise with mortals like us!
The parallel detuned overheads is magical! Holy smokes! I just tried it on a mix where I was struggling to get the drums to sound “beefy”... when I tried to add beef eq, they lost their presence. This technique made them sound so delicious, especially the sections that are heavy on the toms. I’m so glad TH-cam recommended this video! Subscribed
Awesome! You’re an inspiration to us all Sylvia. Always helping me think outside the box with mixes that are in the box. Keep blowing us away with your skill and passion! Happy mixing. :)
So many elements added each one subtle but when added together the effect is achieved, like adding gels in front of a light to get the perfect shade of colour. Awesome work Sylvia! :)
brilliant video Sylvia, thank you so much, i never heard of the Overhead Trick before but i cant wait to try it out in the next production, also i´m going to use the gated snare trick for the slap pretty sure!
I didn't know you had a channel. I'm straight in on the subscription there. Sylvia, you've no idea how you and your 'adventurous recording' philosophy and craft has enthused people to just do stuff and cut through the jibber jabber, tech-head elitism. What a joyful discover this has been today
Very cool stuff told in a very nice and gentle way - as always from your side. I will try to let the Brontosaurus run through our rehearsal room too. cheers from Switzerland!
This is super! Thank you for the brontosaurus tricks! Please show more!! Also , please please create a package of sampled drums for the Slate Trigger!!!
I really appreciate your videos and I love your Recording Unhinged book‼️ I've often are used many of your techniques! I love your whole way......love your smile.....I think I love you! Can I say that… I think I can😘
Awesome demo Sylvia. Little spice here and there with each ingredient make whooping flavor when it's all put together. Can feel the drums pushing out of the speakers.

You are a mix genius. Never heard of pitching copy of overheads down 1 octave. That is rad. Thanks Sylvia.
I know right. It’s a mindblow
Same boat as yall said out loud "yoooooo that's dope"
For real. I learned something new today

haha, this comment about gravity is killing me.. this is so true, the drums sounds massive!!
Whoa, I didn't knew the overheads trick with the Alterboy. Very interesting! 😁 Thanks Sylvia for uploading this!
Eloy MG that was new for me too.

Why is this legit pro not getting as many views as all the dumbass kids who've literally just started producing.
Good stuff, Sylvia
The 360p video quality could be a factor. Plus she doesn't really explain what's she's doing.
0:20 - Before
3:26 - After
Incredible !

Overhead pitching! That's made my day!
Your smile at the end of the video reminded me of why we do this. Wonderful! :)
Sylvia you are a genius! You make it look so easy. The right process is key. That drum track is powerful.

@@Karl_Squell Fun fact. Your favourite artist is autotuned. Even if they don't know
@@Karl_Squell Make your own music with no samples. I think samples sound amazing and are musical but looking for them probably sucks really bad.
3 minutes... 4 great tricks...absolutely top notch..and a nice smile too. what's not to love.
Very gracious to share your techniques! Invaluable!
Thanks Sylvia, your bad assery knows no bounds.

So many elements added each one subtle but when added together the effect is achieved, like adding gels in front of a light to get the perfect shade of colour. Awesome work Sylvia! :)
Wonderful job!
Dinosaur drums! Phenomenal! Thank you for sharing!

Cheers from Brazil!!!
Peace and rock on, baby!!!
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
You are awesome producer!
Adding that 1176 emulation really drove it home. The Solo 2 looks cool, as well. I used to use the old Digi Sound Replacer to fix wimpy drum sounds.
Sylvia, you are AWESOME!!!!
no much to say. you are a genius. thank you very much
This is great. Love the overhead trick
unreal. thank you!
THIS IS FRIKKIN AMAZING!
Thank you!
❤️ Love it!!!
brilliant video Sylvia, thank you so much, i never heard of the Overhead Trick before but i cant wait to try it out in the next production, also i´m going to use the gated snare trick for the slap pretty sure!
That’s what it’s all about! Great ear Silvia and phenomenal difference it really makes to the overall drum mix. 🦕🦕🦕
Thank you! What a share!
Mind blowing tricks! Thank you so much! Greetings from India.
@Eternal Rambler Dude, the overheads trick? That's just sick ok!
I didn't know you had a channel. I'm straight in on the subscription there. Sylvia, you've no idea how you and your 'adventurous recording' philosophy and craft has enthused people to just do stuff and cut through the jibber jabber, tech-head elitism. What a joyful discover this has been today

Very cool stuff told in a very nice and gentle way - as always from your side. I will try to let the Brontosaurus run through our rehearsal room too. cheers from Switzerland!
That sounds huge.! You are amazing.
Dude, those drums are so big they made my window shake; and I was wearing headphones.
I learnd that pitch down trick making a kettle drum with a big bottle of water haha but I never though in put it on the entire drum mix!
So cool
This is super! Thank you for the brontosaurus tricks! Please show more!! Also , please please create a package of sampled drums for the Slate Trigger!!!
Me, yeeeears ago back when I was self-learning how to making drums sounds bigger: turning the gain knob up.
Thanks!
Amazing.
Sounds great, good job...
AMAZING!
