Capricorn's Historic Studio A looks and feels almost exactly as it did when artists like the Allman Brothers Band, Marshall Tucker Band and Charlie Daniels Band produced iconic albums there in the 70s.

Capricorn's signature sound originated from the soul of an API console, and when Studio A was restored for reopening in 2019, an elite, custom-built API 40-Channel 2448 console, fitted with the same preamps and EQ as Capricorn's original console, was installed as the centerpiece of the studio. The main tracking room still features the original maroon burlap-covered walls and cedar shingles that helped shape the studio's signature warm, tight sound. The vibe of the room that inspired the "live-only" ethos of so many of those classic sessions continues to energize and influence artists recording at Capricorn today.

Complementing historic Studio A is the 1400 square-foot Phil Walden Memorial Studio (Studio B), a multi-purpose space that can be used for accommodating choirs, orchestra or larger ensembles. Equipped with a movable stage, concert-grade sound and lights, and a large-screen projection system, the room can be rented for live performances that can be recorded. Clients looking for additional space can rent Studio A, Studio B and the adjacent bar/lounge together.

Capricorn Sound Studios offers a small and affordable production suite with its own isolation booth which is perfect for mixing, editing, podcast production, audio book narration and songwriting collaboration. The suite features an AVID C-24 console and Pro Tools C24, and like Studio A, a pair of Focal Solo Be 6.5 studio nearfield speakers, a pair of industry-standard Yamaha HS8 speakers with sub speaker and a 5.1 Surround Sound Genelec 8020 system for 5.1 mixing.

The team at Capricorn Sound Studios works with clients to deliver an experience that sparks creativity and artistic excellence.
