She is so beautiful 😍💖 She has such a regal quality about her. I always see her as like a beautiful queen from a highly spiritually advanced society that decided to produce music for us mere mortals.

Wow!! I was busy during GearFest and Missed a lot of the great presentations like the one with Dave Smith, Tom Oberheim, and Roger Linn. I didn't even realize that Sylvia Massy was at GearFest.. What a great interview. I can't wait for the Recording Unhinged book. After being part of a my first GearFest as a Sweetwater employee, I'm mad at myself for not attending any before working here.

I'm taking Berklee's online course, Sylvia Massy: Creative Approaches to Recording and Producing Music. As tame as this lady seems, don't let her fool you. She's wild af and I love it.

Really wish they would have touched on T00L a bit. I know she's done much more than T00L records, but she has so much knowledge of early T00L that needs to be recorded and archived since there is such a vague and unilluminated history of that great band.

I hate the way being an asshole is rewarded in this industry, and treated as if it’s somehow a necessary element to creating great art. I don’t care how talented Prince was, there’s no excuse for treating your engineer, or anyone else for that matter, with that kind of contemptuous disregard. Prima donnas will behave in the way they’ve become accustomed to getting away with. The arts need to drop this idea that rudeness is part and parcel with genius. Plenty of enormously talented people treat their colleagues with respect and consideration, so it should be the bare minimum expected of everyone.
