About
Sound City Studios lets you produce music in one of the most famous recording studios in history — including the same room, mics, iconic console, and outboard gear — as heard on classic records from Nirvana, Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Rage Against the Machine, and more.*
Available only from UA, Sound City Studios lets you add the vibe and character of this legendary space to your drums, guitars, vocals, synths and more — right in your own bedroom or home studio.
Sound City's Studio A is the birthplace of hundreds of hit records. Voiced with original multitrack recordings cut at Sound City, we expertly captured the distinct "warts and all" character — with historical setup guidance from engineers who used it everyday — so you can easily put your productions in the same space where magic was made.
Simply choose your source — vocals, drums, guitar, ensembles, or piano — and get proven room and mic setups, from the big reflective sound used on Nirvana's Nevermind to Tom Petty's intimate "wood" corner. You can even re-mic your guitars with a selection of perfectly placed cabinets and room mics.
