UAD Capitol Studios is a room modelling and reverb plug-in that lets you place vocals and instruments in Studios A and B, track through vintage mics, mix through Capitol’s consoles and send to four echo chambers.

Track vocals, drums and ensembles in the same rooms Sinatra and McCartney recorded in. The mic setups from the historic mic locker were curated by Capitol alum Steve Genewick; you can drag the mics around the room and hear the space respond in real time. Decca Tree setups for strings, horns and vocal groups, the underground echo chambers beneath Capitol Tower and Capitol’s large-format British consoles and in-house analog gear complete the package.
