Studios in Atlanta Looking for input.

[ellery]

I'm going to be tracking a single in the next three mouths. And I wanted some input on studios around Atlanta. Most of the time i mix in emerald's The Mix Room and Track at 16 Ave. Sound. But this Project does not have the funds or time to go to Nashville. So i wanted some input on studios around Atlanta. I looked at caffeinetrax but I have not worked with an icon yet so i did not want to take that leap on a project with a low budget.

what type of music?

[ellery]

Country. It would entail a 6 peice band Tracking live plus three backup singers.

[nukmusic]

the best thing would be to look at the client lists of some of the studios, to narrow a few down with the experience in country music.

I'm sure a few ATL gearslutz hear can help u out.

just a few: http://www.atlantamusicguide.com/amg...cording_studio

Tree Sound has a couple of rooms that are to die for and [if I remember correctly] an old Neve in one of the rooms... Southern Tracks has one of the best mic collections on the planet... as far as mixing goes, I think the Stonehenge room at ZAC is my favorite in the city http://www.zacrecording.com/stonehenge_recording.htm and it has a full rental company just across the parking lot for any additional hardware you might require

Best of luck with your search

Drive on up to Athens and see me!
I moved from ATL...Nickel and dime rocks, Tree is great, Sonica is cool, Ruby Red kicks ass....if you want to PM me I can give you the contact info for all the above and which engineers I dig. Or you could just drive a little further to Athens!

i have. just give nina a call and you can book time over there. zack odom is one hell of a engineer over there in any of the studios but their ssl 4000 room is one of the cleanest sounding studios i've heard in Ga.

I've worked at Tree Sound a couple of times. Great staff, nice vibe, great lounge, some nice gear and a good cue system. Isolation may be a challenge for a live country tracking date depending on what the instrumentation is. thumbsup

Tree is very comfortable and high quality, Stonehendge (ZAC recording complex) is great for mixing and Jim Z is one of my favorite people in Atlanta, and Southern Tracks is an established room for good reason.

There are actually a lot of good rooms in Atlanta. Sonica is worth checking out for a tracking room with their API, Silent Sounds and Patchwerk are well-equipped high-end hip hop rooms, and Doppler is an ol' standby, but the old E/G series SSL is a little long in the tooth...

Don't let the Icon frighten...besides, we can fit your budget! Tree and ST have plenty of business anyway

Call me or PM,

Tree does kick buttocks, but you owe it to yourself to give Nickel and Dime a look. Don (the head honcho engineer even won a Grammy this year. ) The live set up is incredible and he has both an API and SSL console!http://www.nickelanddimestudios.net/index.html
Not to mention, he's the nicest guy on earth!
(All this from a competitor!)

Nice plug.


Tree is said to be an incredible studio. I haven't personally worked there, but a good friend worked there for a while. He said the place is absolutely amazing, and has a ton of great vibe.

[blackcatdigi]

Tree is indeed a killer studio. Mike @ Southern is awesome as is his place. There are tons o' rooms in ATL. You may need to better define your budget to get appropriate recommendations.
