Hey,
I know Johnkenn prefers people to stay on this site once they are here but I did want to let you guys know that Sylvia should be launching a featured producer interactive thread at UA Forum this weekend.
So, if you are a fan of her work and would like to pose some questions directly to her, now's your chance.

Big fan. Her Prince story is legend and although i am not a fan of Prince i respected him after her telling of working for him. She also talks gear and settings like any of us and often draws diagrams and cartoons to emphasize points. She's just a badass.

She certainly seems genuinely cool , I don't really know her, just had a couple of emails in the past but when I invited her she immediately said yes, so I think that gear head enthusiastic damn the torpedo recording attitude is really her: get er done son!

So, Sylvia chimed in with her first post post, last night: "Thank you for having me on the UA Forum, let's get this party started!!!!! I'll bring the potatoes, hotdogs, hose and funnel... now that's a good time!!!!" I think its going to get interesting: fast !

She posted a video of using slate vms but obviously using UA Apollo/plugs, as I thought she was all outboard, I contacted her about the UA angle, not recording in general, only reason. UA Forum has something like 20,000 ua users., So, ua forum seemed the more logical fit ?

UA Forum has something like 20,000 ua users., So, ua forum seemed the more logical fit ? I saw her Facebook video (below) about formerly not being able to bus several guitar microphones to one track in the DAW and commit to one track of three combined guitars inside the DAW. This was one of the things that she loved about her Neve console. Perhaps it's splitting hairs, or maybe I'm misunderstanding her, but it doesn't take much to record the three tracks into the DAW, combine them to one track in the DAW and then hide the three individual tracks. And this functionality has been available for a long time. www.facebook.com/sylvia.massy/videos/10157520651275024/www.facebook.com/sylvia.massy/videos/10157520651275024/

Actually she made a comment this morning about using pro tool to sub mix from her neve but now she is more embracing ITB digital mixing

I want to add that Massy is a strong believer in commiting to hardware and she often does sub mixes to get her guitar sound e.g. she likes the u47 a foot away and a sm57 close mic'ed through neve 1073s summed into one track for metal guitar. She also uses a custom tube compressor but i cant remember the details.

I'm a big fan, especially since she seems to share her wisdom so freely with others. What a fascinating person.
