Experience the legendary atmosphere of Sound City Studios' Studio A, where countless classic albums from artists like Nirvana, Metallica, and Fleetwood Mac were created. This VST captures the essence of the studio by recreating the unique room acoustics, microphone placements, and vintage console that defined its iconic sound. Using original multitrack recordings and expert guidance from engineers familiar with the space, the plugin delivers an authentic sonic environment that brings the history and character of this renowned studio directly into your productions.

The plugin offers a variety of proven setups for different instruments including vocals, drums, guitars, ensembles, and piano, allowing you to choose from renowned configurations such as the reflective drum sound heard on Nirvana’s Nevermind or the intimate guitar tones favored by Tom Petty. You can further refine your sound by repositioning classic condenser and ribbon microphones from respected brands like AKG, Neumann, and RCA in real time, enabling you to craft custom room tones beyond the original historic placements. Additionally, the emulated vintage British 3-band EQ and bus compressor faithfully reproduce the sonic signature of the studio’s custom-made console, adding warmth and character to every track.

Enhance your mixes with high-quality effects modeled after the studio’s famous outboard gear, including the legendary Rev E 1176 compressor and the first-ever emulation of the Dolby A301 noise reduction system, which together contribute to the polished vocals and dynamic drum sounds heard on numerous hit records. The plugin also incorporates the natural, open reverb chamber used by artists like Queens of the Stone Age and Phoebe Bridgers, complemented by carefully positioned dynamic, small-diaphragm condenser, and ribbon microphones to add depth and space to your sound. This comprehensive tool allows you to infuse your music with the iconic vibe and tonal richness of Sound City Studios, all from your own home studio.
