Mission Briefing
Thirty Years at the Board.
One Mission: Your Sound.
Nebula Recording Studio has been owned and operated by Gym Eaton since 2003. An engineer, producer, and Nashville native, Gym logged his first session at Warner Bros. Nashville’s The Loft at age 15. What followed was three decades inside the rooms where records get made: Johnny Cash, Stevie Wonder, Faith Hill, Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, and more.
While Nebula was already up and running, Gym spent time on the road working with R&B legend India.Arie and later as Tour Manager — on tours sharing stages with Queens of the Stone Age and KISS — before returning his full focus to the studio. What you get here is thirty years of trained ears, professional instincts, and a genuine investment in your music.
The gear is professional. The ears are seasoned. The door is open — if your music matters to you, it matters here.

Investment
Every Project Is Different.
Every Budget Gets Heard.
Nebula doesn’t post a rate card — because great work doesn’t fit in a spreadsheet. Some projects are billed hourly. Others by the song or album. What never changes is the commitment to your record.
Whether you’re a major label act or a songwriter cutting your first demo on a shoestring, reach out and let’s talk. The goal is to get you in the room.
