sylvia massy's secret weapon is just being better at this shit than everyone else.
This cracked me up, hahahaaa
💯
I'm hypnotized by your passion
Very soft spoken super cool vibes!
Yea, Im sure it sounds great because of shitty mackie mixer.
Sylvia Massey was once told to use her inside voice at a library and she took it to heart for the rest of her life
What if her ears are just really sensitive due to audio training & that’s why she talks so quietly...
Maybe from not working in an isolated control room sometimes? If you wanna talk during a take you have to whisper. At least that’s how it works in my basement!
@@baileymaloney1961 the way she blasts the drums at 1:21 makes me really not think so lol
Lol spot on.
Honestly Bro...in agreeance with her....Ive got the Mackie FX 12 with my analog rack and acustica audio plugins....its doing a steller job!!!
can you do longer videos ? I'm not saying I'm here for ASMR but- I'm digging the ASMR
XD
I know what you mean. You might also like Synth Pioneer Suzanne Ciani talking on this 3-2-1 Contact clip: from 1980 ruclips.net/video/vJiTDhOTamo/видео.html
Sounds like somebody might be getting off on this.
Realtime loop!
Dude she’s not whispering for ASMR. When you do audio for a living you learn people try to focus and listen harder to people who speak softly when they explain. If she came out yelling she’d sound like every other video.
I’ve got the Mackie at least.
Same here... :)
@@TheRealFreekBos ive got two!
i wish all producers were this pleasant to listen to when they talk lol
This woman is a beautiful genius! Undertow changed my life. Hope you are well.
I think it would be dope to give her like a budget of $1,000 and see how good of a sound setup she can make with it. Mixer,mics,racks,speakers and all. Would be a good show.
she'd only need 40 for a interface and would get good sound with stock plugins in a free DAW
You could give her a potato and those drums would sound crispy
And add 1/2 a tablespoon of cymbals, a dash of kickdrum and you're set to bake a tune! Lol
She could do a cooking show.
You should do a video with the Kush audio guy :-)
I think she has a kush eq channel strip too
His channel is so good too
that would be the most soothing video in all of audio history
@@johnnydove Exactly you get it!
The Bob Ross of Record Producers. Voice is soothing af!!!!
No dis to her or any studio but I am so glad that music production has become democratized to the point that a kid with a cracked version of FL studio in the hood can crank out a hit. It's no longer gate kept by what kind of preamps or console you got. Unless of course you are recording a band live.
And imho, that last sentence is exactly what's wrong with the current state of music. Too many producers, not enough musicians.
@@dlawlis producers are musicians imho maybe not virtuosos but they communicate musically and that to me is a musician. I see J Dilla on an mpc and I think musician
What a good news but not a surprise. I use a Mackie 16 tracks to record drums in my home studio since 1995. Yeeeees! This video made my day !!! Do you bypass the Mackie preamps with the API?
No mistakes, just happy little accidents on the Mackie.
Great! A mixer with at least 8 channels is always the way to go for acoustic drums! ... and just a note, using an sm57 for the snare really makes the beat pop!
I've been home recording for about 10 years now and just recently acquired a mixer and started my first analogue rack , which has made all the difference!
Just waiting to get a bigger space , than going to start micing acoustics rather than record an electric drumset with midi as I have been .
So excited to start getting real drums in my mixes!
I only need to figure out one thing ..... how to assign the mixer channels to operate on separate DAW channels .... can anyone explain how its done?
A mixer with direct outputs, switchable pre/post fader is best. Post fader direct output from mixer into individual DAW channels will take you there baby.
This is lowkey asmr lmao
I’ve known your work for years, Ms. Massey, but have only just discovered your RUclips channel and... I love it so much. Your picture should be in the dictionary next to “infectious energy”. I realize the dictionary has neither pictures nor phrase definitions but I think you’re picking up what I’m laying down. You’re the best and I hope to work with you by some random chance one day. Please make as many videos as you desire for as long as you live. Goodbye.
Drink every time she says "the Mackie"
You are just the coolest!!! I've been recording and mixing for decades and I would LOVE to spend just a day with you in the studio. What a great mind and amazing personality. Thank you for these videos. Inspiring.
A lot of early 2000s jungle was ran through makie mixers. Get that signature snare snap..
Serious ASMR triggers from Sylvia's vids, not to mention the incredible advice and tips she brings with each video!!
Im using Mackie in my Home Studio and they Pump....but....I think I'm going to attach a Allen Heath to it right before my SSL 2+ interface to make the Raw Analog Sound I get from the Mackie...have a little more British...SSL type thump and Depth.....now I think I'm going use both of them in a chain...the makie coming out of my interface and my Allen Heath I get going back into the interface after my rack
Don't forget all the kick ass preamps and eq she has as outboard gear. She's essentially using what, 4 channels on that Mackie? It's doing a quick dirty sum. Most of that sound is those preamps and other rack gear. Not being a buzzkill but let's be honest here. She didn't say she tracked all the drums on the mackie.
i have two PC monitors and never thought of using one for my mix window, was using hotkeys lol
You can tel so hard she loves her work
You don’t need any of those high end pieces of gear to achieve a great sounding mix, if you know what you’re doing. Pretty much any basic/cheap interface with transparent preamps and stock plugins in your DAW are all you’ll need. It’s more about technique than expensive gear.
I use those mackie mixers to in hybrid-studiosetups. they really sound great. sometime i use a yamaha mixer wich also sound totally great. the pre´s are really really good...
how do they color the sound? are you using eq? I guess at that size there won't be any built in analog compression?
@@realraven2000 I dont mind about "coloring the sound". It sounds fat, more glued together, more analog, more warmth because you send the signal throug an electric circuit. I dont use the eq´s just the pre amps and the faders.
I love how she talks. It’s like she’s trying not to wake a sleeping baby in the control room :)
Why the whispering.......are you not supposed to be there?
Which mackie though? there are lots of different mackie designs, some better than others.
Anyone knows any other youtube channels like this about sound engineering or producing that releases somewhat consistent videos about their work? I need more
Check out Mix with The Masters and Pensado's Place
Check out Creative sound lab, theyve got some awesome vids on recording and mixing
Someone please check this woman’s basement!!!!
From the thumbnail, I thought the secret weapon would be a fruit rollup
Focusrite stuff, no type mention lol
Mackie made a helluva mixer back in the day.
Nice full sound. Very satisfying!
Humm those Kush Elektra baby, so hot
You're so chill, I love it.
what specific Mackie series is that?
Funny I nodded when she said “Surprisingly good” 😂👌🏼🤘🏼
She is right, those drums sounds damn good. And those white genlecs are beautiful.
hi i'm white and i reported that comment-i'm not much of a judge of humanity myself, so i'm sorry. best of luck.
Sounds like noise to me
All hail Mackie?
X)
MACKIE
Marry me lol
You are such a gem Sylvia. Thank you for making these videos. I’m about to purchase the Kush electras 500 series and I’m cracking up that a Mackie is your jam. Got me thinking...
Softer please.
Yea but the problem with those mackie mixers is huge cross-talk between adjacent channels and L and R
I love the phasing sound moving the camera between the speakers. You have to get that into the recording. And what about that MS16 in the corner?
Still got my lil Mackie 1202 and use it everyday , luv it❤️🤘🏼
that's my mixer! i have a cr1604 and a 1604 vlz pro, i love them i think they're really neat sounding
0:47 the real secret That Fairchild Clone she run the mix bus on the mackey into that
Fairchild clones can be really awesome! But i guess you're refering to the pair of Warm Audio Wa76's (clone of the famous UREI 1176! :D)
@@gabriel.nagos23 that’s the one my bad ye parallel compression with those
I didn't know someone made a Fairchild clone
@@systemlfo with a quick Google search you can find units like: stamchild's SA-670, Distopik 670, Drip Electronic 670 and other modern alternatives :)
I'm SHURE you mix better than me, but the year is 2021
Love you Sylvia.
The get it done by any means necessary attitude rules my world.
Greating from Columbia River Gorge, OR.
it was big mistake going from our 16ch Mackie to a Yamaha digital mixer in '99
Oh damn. Those are the drums tons of my dreams. DAWS are so weird with drums coming from the old old school of having huge boards and mic set up per traditional grouping. I'm finding that the understanding of eq spreading and fine compression on the drum bus can make even the most generic sounding apple loop sound amazing AF and like you mixed it properly on separate tracks
you and gregory scott from kush audio should get together and do an asmr video, honestly
I love it how you do top of the producer job , but still show us sound from a phone hahaha with phase doing rollercoasters!! ahaha :D
You are a great source of tricks and audio secrets. This channel is gold. I think the great secret recording weapon is you, everyone has access to the equipment, but the way you use it is simply incredible.
I always thought Mackie stuff was good back in the day, you have an awesome set of ears Sylvia!
Her demeanour makes her so hot
I didn't know you've visited my hometown! Suomenlinna Studios is a great place!
This channel takes really simple Concepts and make them cool and palatable
Interesting seeing gear from Kush Audio here, huge fan of Greg
she's the mom I would die for have
does that mackie have the perkins eq's?
I dig your videos.
Oh my goodness (in a good way).
Did you end up using those Forssell's?
I was distracted. Say that again?
I freaking love you
Its not what u have. Its how you use it that matters!
sylvia sos lo mejor
Love my Avid MC Controller!
Undertow! Best recorded drums ever!
Surprisingly good!!
It sweet!
she knows her stuff!
AH....what??? LOL!
Cool channel
*t h e M A C K E Y *
answer: booba
Thanks! Gonna try that
Feelin the gear geekery.
cool chick
Legend
Awesome
So läuft's 😎🤘
holy cow!
Hey! I love u! 😉😘
(!!!)
Yes... sounds amazing through your phone's mic. :/
'filming' the audio like this, really doesnt tell us anything about the mix. Next time maybe try exporting it to wav from protools and adding it to the vid?
Some old kind of cheap mixers actually have a good stereo mix down bus that adds saturation and colour when driven hard💥 😇👍.
For more saturation 🔥you can even drive the buses hard and then send them to the Masterbus 💥🤴👌.
On my Soundtracs Topaz the master bus can take a lot of abuse +3+6- in to red and it,s never breaks down and sounds bad it's just adds more saturation 🔥colour ♨️ and
weight 🏋️♂️. It,s Incredible that a chip based mixer without transfomers can do that but as we all now the old chips like TLO -072, 074 adds Harmonic distortion ♨️ 😀😀😎👍.
Video title : " I reveal my secret weapon" kinda janky speaking about yourself in 3rd person. Sry
finns make good speakers :)
Yes, yes, we don’t have any money, thank you. next video
