Recording studio rates in Decatur, GA.

Affordable studio time at a professional recording studio in Atlanta, based in Decatur, GA. Book the room by the hour, with or without an engineer, and add mixing, mastering, and production when your song needs it. No hidden fees — what you see is what you book.

We keep our recording studio pricing simple on purpose, so Atlanta artists always know what studio time costs. You pay for studio time in 2, 4, or 6-hour blocks, and the longer you book, the lower your hourly rate. Add an engineer when you want one behind the board, or save by running the session yourself in the same professional room.

Frequently asked questions

Are you an affordable recording studio in Atlanta?
Yes — Ocean Blue offers some of the most affordable recording studio rates in the Atlanta area, starting at $45/hour without an engineer, without cutting corners on gear or sound. You get a professionally treated room and experienced engineers at a price built for working artists.
How much does studio time cost in Atlanta?
At Ocean Blue, studio time starts at $45/hour without an engineer and $60/hour with one, at our recording studio in Decatur just minutes from downtown Atlanta. You can book 2-, 4-, or 6-hour blocks, and longer sessions lower the hourly rate. Mixing and mastering start at $350.
Is a deposit required to book?
Yes — a 50% deposit holds your session. The balance is due at your appointment. Paying the deposit is what locks your time on the calendar.
What's your cancellation policy?
Cancellations within 48 hours of your session forfeit the deposit, and no-shows are charged one hour. You're welcome to reschedule once at no penalty if you give us notice.
With or without an engineer — which should I pick?
If you want to focus purely on performing and lean on someone to capture clean takes, book with an engineer. If you're comfortable running your own session, book without and save on the hourly rate. Same room either way.
Do you offer discounts for longer or repeat bookings?
Longer blocks already have a lower hourly rate built in, and memberships and bulk-hour packs (coming soon) go further for regulars. Get in touch about ongoing work.
How do I pay?
Booking and deposits are handled securely online when you reserve your session, with instant text and email confirmation. The balance can be settled at your appointment.
