About Us

Southern Tracks Recording is located in Atlanta, GA thirty minutes north of the Atlanta International Airport. Southern Tracks features the Solid State Logic G+ Ultimation console, Studer analog recorders, a Sony 3348 digital recorder and two ProTools HD systems. Classic outboard gear by Fairchild, Neve, and Pultec, plus one of the finest collections of vintage tube microphones in the world. The George Augsburger designed studio has hosted many of today’s top artists, producers, and engineers.

Southern Tracks has almost as much history as the region in which it is located. The original studio, a converted schoolhouse, was founded by legendary music publisher Bill Lowery in the mid-1950’s. Lowery discovered such classic songs as “Be Bop A Lula,” “I Never Promised You A Rose Garden,”and Joe South’s “Games People Play.” When the original site became a Metro Atlanta Rapid Transit station in 1983, Lowery built a new studio from the ground up at the present location.

Designed by George Augsburger, Southern Tracks was originally intended as a workshop for Lowery writers and productions. However, the studio’s ambient room quickly gained favor among Atlanta’s rock elite. Eventually, as long time manager and co-owner Mike Clark explained, “Bill had trouble getting time in his own studio.”

In 1993, Clark and Lowery brought Southern Tracks to state-of-the-art when they installed the South’s first SSL G Plus/Ultimation console. The studio also features an extensive collection of vintage outboard gear and one of the finest selections of tube microphones in the world.
