The Castle is a world class recording facility located in the rolling green hills south of…read moreNashville in Franklin, TN. The building was originally built by Al Capone, yes the Al Capone, sometime in the 1920's. It was briefly used as a gambling casino, and later a private residence. Now it is a recording facility that hosts all kinds of famous musicians, and local musicians that can get in some time between major label sessions. The Castle has a Studio A and Studio B, and depending on your project budget you can rent each one by the hour, by the day, or by the project. Studio A includes the main tracking room and more fancy engineering room. The main tracking room is just gorgeous, with white sound proofing panels, blonde wooden floors, and natural sunlight streaming in the south facing windows. I had the good fortune to be in here for a day doing some tracking, and it was really a great experience. They have a full kitchen so you don't even have to leave for coffee or food. It's like recording in an awesome house. Everything sounds amazing. Later when the sun was setting we were out back and about 15 deer ran through the backyard. It was just too cool. Wildlife and rock music, like a fairy tale. If you can get the budget, get yourself over to the Castle for some tracking.

I booked it for an entire week to do a recording camp for aspiring vocalists last summer. The grounds are breathtaking. All of the rumors I had heard about it being built by Al Capone turned out to be true. The place has been used by countless famous musicians over the years. What impressed me was how the people at Castle went out of their way to make these young performers feel like they were stars as well. We used Studio B which is for smaller projects. The equipment was all top- notch and the sound engineer, Rich Ramsey really took his time making all these singers sound their best. I would recommend this studio to anyone who wants to get a good recording at a decent price in a beautiful atmosphere. You may want to bring a treat for Baxter and Ella, the very friendly studio dogs.

The rooms are great and they have a size for whatever you need. We've been in every room from the smallest, which is good for a small band practice, to the largest, which is great for events and the stage is huge. The equipment is high quality and we have always been pleased with things we've had to rent like drums, keyboards, and amps. They always have plenty of connections for our big group, and plenty of monitors to make sure we all can hear everything clearly. The staff is usually pretty attentive to our needs. They are not crazy about you touching the mixing board so you have to bring them in when you want to tweak stuff but they are usually on top of it. Whether you are a professional touring act needing a place to prepare or a local band needing a place with great sound to practice, this is a great spot.
