Moving to Los Angeles in the late ’80s, Massy began her career at Larrabee Sound, where she recorded the debut EP and LP of metal icons Tool. While there she also befriended Rick Rubin, with whom she collaborated on a string of albums after moving to Sound City’s Studio B. It was at Sound City that Massy became known for creating a signature sound, with special equipment and a vintage Neve 8038 console.

In this Studio Science, filmed at EastWest Studio in Hollywood as part of the Red Bull Music Academy Festival Los Angeles, Massy discusses her transition from analog to digital and demonstrates her hybrid mixing approach with a track from Norwegian punk rock band Turbonegro's RockNRoll Machine album.
