A Room
The Gold Room
The Gold Room is meant to feel like stepping back into the golden era of music, from the 1960s through the 1990s. Warm lighting, artwork inspired by Cincinnati’s history and a beautiful 180-degree view of the Ohio River Valley give the room a timeless feel without taking away from the work being done inside. It’s a comfortable space to settle in, get creative and focus on making something you’re proud of.
The room features a professionally acoustically treated control room and a dedicated isolation booth. Both sides of the wall have an installed XLR panel, creating a direct connection between the booth and control room for reliable, high-quality audio signal routing. The setup supports up to six microphones at once, along with an additional headphone and instrument port: a flexible option for everything from vocal sessions and features to bands and recordings with heavier instrumentation.
A dedicated producer and beatmaking nook holds pieces of music history, including the Akai MPC 2000XL, Akai MPC X, Roland SP-404MKII and Roland RX11 drum machine, with a Yamaha MG10XUF mixer for hands-on production, sampling and working with hardware. For monitoring, the room runs two Yamaha HS8 and two ADAM Audio T7V studio monitors with a Yamaha subwoofer.

B Room
The Blue Room
The Blue Room has a completely different feel. Painted a rich midnight blue and paired with LED lighting, the room has a spacey, psychedelic atmosphere that gives it its own identity. Original artwork by Patrick Sudds adds to the character of the space.
The Blue Room is primarily set up for vocal recording, but it can also accommodate instruments from the string, horn and woodwind families. It features an acoustically treated control room and a dedicated recording booth, with a comfortable setup for up to four people, including the engineer. It’s a good fit for solo artists, producers and smaller sessions where everyone can stay focused and involved.
With professional recording equipment, KRK 7-inch studio monitors and industry-standard recording software, the Blue Room offers a lot of value for its price. For artists in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and the wider Tri-State region, it’s a competitive option for recording in a professional space without stretching the budget.

What artists are saying
More than a room to record in.
The experience matters, from the equipment and engineering to the comfort of the space itself. Here’s what artists have said about recording at The Soul Recording Studios.
“An amazing studio, with an extremely comfortable vibe, attentive engineers and a myriad of options for recording. Definitely coming back.”
“I had an amazing session with the owner for recording a song on my debut EP. There’s a cafe directly below the studio, a Mexican restaurant across the street, and a UDF down the block too. All the eats you could need within walking distance. The studio was very comfortable, sound system was great, and when we recorded my vocals, he had an analog vocal chain, which I found to be a lot of fun to mess around with. Definitely coming here again next time in Cincinnati!”
