Welcome to 1979 is a time capsule of vintage vibe and gear unlike any other studio in the world. We're able to do entirely analog tracking and mixing, and of course offer a ProTools HD rig with all the modern bells and whistles you may need.
We offer both digital and vinyl mastering services in-house. We are one of the only studios in the world that can offer an entirely analog release - from tracking and mixing all the way to lacquer cutting!
Thanks to our sister company Mara Machines, we have a number of tape machines that we can utilize for archival purposes, analog to digital transfers, and our analog anywhere service!
We’re committed to building community and educating others on the recording process. That's why we offer a Tape Camp twice a year for analog enthusiasts, and an annual Recording Summit every November.

Established in 2008 by husband and wife team Chris and Yoli Mara, Welcome to 1979 has grown to become a multi-faceted recording studio integral to the Nashville community. The 13,000 square foot facility is housed in a former record pressing plant; the music history hits you as soon as you step foot in the door.
We’ve spent the last 15 years cultivating a comfortable and creative atmosphere for artists to make music – and our gear list and clients reflect that!
