Studio One (recording studio)

Studio One was a recording studio, located in the northern Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Doraville.

The studio was constructed and designed in 1970 by audio engineer Rodney Mills, with the support of music publisher Bill Lowery and future Atlanta Rhythm Section manager Buddy Buie. [ [The Atlanta Rhythm Section History http://www.atlantarhythmsection.com/arsStory01.htm] ] The studio output included a diverse range of recordings by Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Joe South, Atlanta Rhythm Section, .38 Special and The Outlaws. [ [Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan08/articles/classictracks_0108.htm] ] Singer Ronnie Hammond also started his career at the studio, originally employed as an assistant audio engineer.

The Atlanta Rhythm Section was formed from session musicians used at Studio One and utilised the facilities extensively for rehearsals.

Studio One closed in 1989.
