Ocean Blue Recording is a working recording studio in Decatur, GA, just minutes from downtown Atlanta. We help rappers, singers, producers, engineers, and podcasters book studio time by the hour — with an engineer behind the board or on your own — in a private, treated room built for getting real takes done.
Why record at Ocean Blue in Decatur
We are located at 2223 Candler Rd, Decatur, GA 30032, with on-site parking and easy access from I-20. That puts the studio within a short drive for artists coming from Decatur, East Atlanta, South DeKalb, East Lake, Kirkwood, and the surrounding Atlanta neighborhoods, so you spend less time in traffic and more time recording.
Inside, you get a private recording room and a lounge area to settle in between takes. You can book with one of our engineers when you want hands-on support, or run the session yourself if you already have your own workflow. Booking is done online, and the studio keeps late hours so evening sessions are easy to schedule around work or school.

With an engineer vs. without an engineer
If you are newer to recording, working on a tight timeline, or just want someone handling the technical side so you can stay in the zone, book a session with an engineer. If you produce your own music, know your way around a session, and prefer to drive the room yourself, the no-engineer option gives you the same professional space at a lower rate. Not sure which fits your project? Our guide on recording with or without an engineer breaks it down, or you can book a session and choose either option at checkout.

Studio time is booked in 2-hour, 4-hour, and 6-hour blocks, and the longer you book, the lower your effective hourly rate. You can add an engineer, mixing, mastering, or production to any session.
