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!

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!

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.

Got her book "Recording Unhinged" a couple of weeks ago. Loving it. Some awesome tips and stories in there.

Sylvia Massey is so inspiring. Beyond the far side of the moon with creativity and talent.

She’s awesome - she brings a very cool energy with her, something rare and genuinely unique. 👏👏👏

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. :)

WOW MY hero. Very inspiring person and we need more people like her in the industry. She is the future of the industry, Very engaging speaker as well.

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.

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...

She got me at "I love gear" :)

Very cool techniques with impressive catalog. Thank you Sylvia, Guitar Doors Record Label.

she seems like the MOST fun!! i would LOVE to make a record like this

Love this! Studio itself as instrument! Love the eclectic nature!

I just purchased the book "Recording Unhinged" - and immediately became a fan! ❤

"He had a shotgun" OK a shotgun mic "He started shooting the piano" Hold on

I am so happy to find out about Sylvia! Thanks

Love the way you think outside the box! Cheer to Sylvia!

this woman is very inspirational...and I love her eyes. LOL

his reacation is just priceless, almost an emotional rollercoaster 6:55

I'd LOVE to work with her! Wow! Talk about inspirational!

It's a shame she never produced a Sonic Youth album. Their unconventional, experimental sound with her unconventional experimental approach would've been amazing.

cant wait for Silvia massy plugins

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.

THIS IS GREAT. i JUST lOVE SYLIVIA AND HER OUT OF THE BOX THINKING! Whats life if you can't shoot a few pianos! Love it just love it!!!!!!

Thank you for the advices!

I want Sylvia to Produce our album. Love her unconventional style.

She’s my favorite producer! Get her book. It’s great.

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

All these instructive videos have smiley smiley public relations people. OMG

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.

Bloody fantastic

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??????😉😳😆😆

So she literally recorded on a potato. Great video, gotta get her book now!

this is a huge piece of music history IMO

"Sound that's in my ear's eye" :) ^_^

i like her passion for music. u can see it in her eyes. \\M//

This lady is incredible

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.

she's my hero...and friend...

I like that the Razor Bladed amp speaker was from a Line 6. :D

She is so awesome...

what a lady! very impressive

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!

she's so greattttt

Genius Mam

Love her.

hi sylvia , where can i find your book , i like very much your way of recording and i learn a lot ,thanks

wow she's creative

Sylvia is freaking awesome

She warms my heart.

awesome.

i really need help. i want to record with my new analog desk through pro tools. what’s the best way to go about this?

Niiiicccee! I am a computer science EE professional for decades, but I bow down to you! However, I think you really need some dynamite!

I love that you don’t use a conventional control room!

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!

Sylvia Massy just made my list of “people I’d most like to party with someday”

Recording bass in a submarine. Go ahead and top that one!

oh goodness...she paints so well

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 !!!

She’s a blast!

Musically relevant, aesthetically inspired, spiritually charged, joy infused, who-wouldn't-want-to-play there Studio!

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.

What an imagination, the true spirit of music

Sylvia rocks :)

She's great.

I love how experimental she is

I tried some of these things on my last session with some new clients. They're not coming back. I ended up eating the potatoes though...and I suppose that's what matters. Inspiration!

I LOVE U SYLVIA #electro mom genius
