I like when she opens the car door and mics spill out like she's the mad mic lady, that is funny. She is very good at parodying herself, that's a healthy sense of humor.
I was more like...WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!
Silvia, you are a national treasure!
Thanks for showing these. Great video.
How can you not fall in love with a lady who loves microphones, history, rock'n roll, and wears a jacket like that!
I found out about Ribbons from a Chris Whitley recording, but no way I will ever own a vintage RCA. That's OK, there are many people who are making "replica" mics with good specs. Thanks, Sylvia. Funny intro. This explains why my fave older movies sound so great, music and dialogue.
That mic just had the creamy, dulcet tones of 1940's movies - now you sound and look like a movie star! :o)
I never gave a flying fish about mics before. But this is honestly fascinating.
At one of my very first jobs in the early 70s, I worked as Summer Relief Technician at CBC Radio in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A lot of the equipment there dated back to the 1950s or even 1940s, McCurdy consoles with rotary pots and such. Studio C was equipped with a big old dented RCA 44. I thought at the time that the sound was warm but had a slightly muffled quality compared to the modern condenser mics in use in the rest of the station. (For Canadians, legendary announcer Max Ferguson first started his long-running “Rawhide” show from Studio C in Halifax- probably on that same RCA 44.)
Hi Sylvia! What a great tutorial and demonstration of Vintage RCA!
Well done and easily understandable. Thank you so much for All You Share!
Be Well All!
I cracked up at the intro! 🤣
Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge and collection, it is much appreciated!
I absolutely ADORE this series of videos! Huuuge fan!
That’s the best intro I’ve heard in a long time!😂
Thanks, great video!
Thanks Sylvia! Your energy is truly inspiring!
Everytime I watch one of your videos, I get reminded of 'just' how fun it is to record.
Sometimes I do need reminding, so a big thank you for your precise amount of awesomness!
I love this lady
Oooooooh, it's Sylvia !!! :) Bless you!
(sigh) You are a ray of light in a somber
and drab world. Teach us more, teacher!
Can you make more of these. It is fascinating.
Sylvia inspired me so much, that I have been taking my Airstream rig to the wilds of Canada to record the beyond; from cuverts to creeks to forest reverbs. She's my sister from another mother. Thank you Sylvia.
I love every RCA ribbon mic I've heard so far. Looking forward to more episodes.
Super interesting! Subscribed.
This wouldn't normally fascinate me but hearing the history and specs from none other than the queen of engineering herself is much more intriguing to learn. I can listen and learn anything she has to say.
Love this! Thank you for demonstrating the sound of the mic. More please :)
A mic a day keeps the silence away! Looking forward to episode 2 ♥️✖️
I remember you mentioning you had a big haul of classic mics incoming, that was months ago. Now we can all ooze over some history and some interesting pieces of technology.
please make a vid about ur energy and beliefs I feel like people could learn a lot from u, the way you vibe Is unique
Nice intro, good history lesson, great mics! Can't wait for the next one.
This is awesome!! Very informative and insightful, thanks Sylvia you are the best!!
Sylvia you're awesome! I love these videos.
Even with youtube compression its stil incredible the quality difference between a lav and an old ribon, so so warm.
Awesome episode!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. And yes that ribbon mic fits your voice so perfectly, must admit it gave me goosebumps lol
Love your Videos, it's allways inspiring! thank you very much for all the knowledge
I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I'm soo in love with your content! Thanks for sharing all that cool stuff! (:
Love this! Thank you!
As a producer of audiobooks i´m pretty fascinated by your microphone collection Mylady. I couldn´t resist subscribing.
Thank you Sylvia. :-)
Thanks for sharing the video, Sylvia! Really great stuff and looking forward to your future episodes. Hope you're all safe and well! - chaz
Must have an obsession in music to grasp its vastness... I too am a melomaniac, just wish I had a tenth of the gear you have. I am a firm believer in analog mixers and recording, something about the organic luscious buttery smooth richness verses digitals tinny glassy sound. You have an amazing studio and even more of an amazing vast collection of dreamy gear Ms.Massy!🤘
She is so awesome!
The 44 at that time, costed less than the AEA R44 today.
This is so much fun!!
thanks for this video, I love the way you produce and record music. A great friend recommended that I follow you to learn about music production. and there is nothing to regret !!! genius!!!
I don't know English but I needed to express it, hehehe rock and roll forever !!!
Sylvia is just my favorite person
I have to be honest, you're a stunner. Your videos and topics are always great but that comes as no surprise.
Holy smoke, that focusrite Isa preamp... o.O lovely video!
Thank you
top! merci!
thank you so much! so educational :)
the legend
That junior is amazing
Hi Mam...
You are great.
I love you Mam.
Love you from India..💜💜💜💜💜🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Nobody like you, you explain everything so perfectly, your the business🤘🏻⚡️🤘🏻
Sylvia Massy 😘🥰😍😇
Oh yeah!
nice!
I truly hope selling that sweet desk to fund this collection takes you to the next level. I'm not sure what that level would be considering you don't travel in any straight line ever :)
nice ty.
You had me at the intro song...
they'll have the spaghetti and i'll go with the mic du jour and salad bar, please
My heart broke when Sylvia opened the car door and those mics fell down 😭
That's actually what roadies do to dynamic mics, lol.
Very cool! I love how soft and natural those old ribbons sound. Do these mics have the original ribbon elements?
Do the magnets loose strength over the years??
you rock
What mic is it that Thom Yorke uses? He's an amazing singer of course but that beautiful soft analog sound he gets is amazing.
dear Sylvia... i read in some page that you work on some mixes for "One Hot Minute"(RHCP)... did you have anything to show us? its my favourite album ever, and people dont realize how good is... ¡saludos desde Chile!
Product Demonstrator Barbi rocks \m/
hello amazing
Okay AEA... I think you've got your next project!
There she is 😍
You rule.
What a babe!
I prefer the back of the mic. It seemed to have just enough mid scoop. What kind of connectors do those have?
00:08 jajajajja
WHAT IS THAT POPPING SOUND
First woohoo 😊
The large one probably gives you transatlanic accent. I assume the hiss is due to its age?
You ever dress them up like Barbie and uh... perhaps Michael?
Jezus phucking internet. Now gear reviews are even just only fans. 0:13 push the back button.
The microphone sounds a bit like my telephone...
