Technical Tour: TT8 - Capitol Studios
Abstract:
Easily recognizable in the skyline since this Hollywood landmark was completed in 1956, Capitol Studios has been a staple of the recording industry for over 50 years. With a strong commitment to sonic integrity, some of their innovative features include adjustable louvered wall panels in Studio A to control variable decay time, and eight subterranean trapezoidal echo chambers 30 feet underground, designed by Les Paul. Studio B has hosted everything from classic rock and roll albums to Nat King Cole, who preferred the isolation booth for his Steinway or Yamaha C9. With production suites and mastering services, Capitol Studios continues to build on their legacy of creative collaboration.
