This recording studio makes you sound good

16 Ton Studios is  one of Nashville’s top recording facilities, located in the heart of historic Music Row. The staff of producers, writers, musicians, and engineers at 16 Ton make musical dreams and artistic visions become reality on a daily basis.

What makes recording a single song or an entire record in Nashville so special? Beyond the fact that Nashville has become not only the home of Country music, it has also become the best city in the world to make music.  Why?

• Nashville has the deepest talent pool of professional musicians in the world and we are concentrated within a seventy-five mile radius of Music Row.
• Nashville has the best production and engineering teams anywhere.
• Nashville’s writing professionals are among the best in the world.  Everyday, a flood of writers move to Nashville from London, New York and Los Angeles.
• Nashville is unbeatable when it comes to budgets.  Lodging, transportation, restaurants, and much more is less expensive in Tennessee.  World class records can be produced at a fraction of the cost in Nashville than in other cities.

Which brings us to 16 Ton Studios.  We are housed in a large circa 1897 Victorian home on Music Row that was completely restored and developed into a fantastic recording space.  The control room at 16 Ton Recording Studios was designed by world-renowned studio builder Michael Cronin from London, England.  The legendary Bob Hodas of Bob Hodas Acoustic Analysis in Berkeley, California tuned the Control Room and each of our five, isolated, recording spaces have been tuned by Michael Cronin.
