Cybernetic Sound Studio

The Space

A Room That
Actually Sounds Good

No templates. No cookie-cutter setups. Cybernetic Sound Studio was built from the ground up by working musicians who knew exactly what was missing from most Atlanta rooms. A proper live space. A control room you can trust. Gear that doesn't get in the way of the music.

Whether you're tracking a full band, laying down an EP, or scoring to picture, this is a studio run by people who take your music as seriously as you do. Come in, get comfortable, and make something you're proud of.

The Engineers

Jason Barnes

Guinness World Record Holder

Jason Barnes is one of Atlanta's most decorated music professionals — a multi-instrumentalist, touring drummer, producer, and engineer who built Cybernetic Sound Studio to be the city's premier creative hub. In 2020, he made history with a Guinness World Record for "Most Drum Beats Per Minute with a Prosthetic," a testament to the relentless drive he brings to every session.

His production work spans Hip-Hop and R&B to Rock, Metal, Pop, and EDM. As a film composer, Jason has scored projects across major streaming platforms, and as the founder of CYBRNETX — a forward-thinking electronic music collective — he continues to push the boundaries of what production can be.

Matt Bankston

With 20 years of hands-on studio experience, Matt Bankston is the kind of engineer that artists trust with their most important work. A skilled drummer and guitarist, his musicianship informs every mix — he doesn't just hear tracks, he hears performances, and he knows how to honor them.

Matt is equally at home behind a flagship SSL console or a stripped-down laptop rig. His discography spans rock, metal, indie, pop, R&B, and hip-hop, with credits across major and independent releases. Artists who work with Matt describe the same thing: a rare combination of technical mastery and genuine creative investment that makes the difference between a good record and a great one.
