A Cincinnati recording studio built by working musicians.
Track, mix, and master at Monorail Sound. The room is stocked with guitars and amps, basses, keyboards, vocal and dynamic mics, and the engineer behind the desk plays out most weekends.

A few songs we've tracked, mixed, or mastered at Monorail Sound.
Ned runs every session
Our in-house engineer has 15 years of experience mixing, mastering, and producing across pop, hip-hop, indie, and country. You get a producer's ear, not just someone pressing record: arrangement ideas, take management, and honest feedback when a part needs one more pass.
Analog gear, modern workflow
We track through a wide range of analog equipment and finish in the box with modern plugins. Session musicians are available if your song needs a drummer, a bassist, or keys you don't have. Our workstation features a MacBook Pro fully equipped with Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton Live, and an extensive collection of professional plugins, giving you everything you need to record, produce, mix, and create.
