Sigma Sound Studios
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigma Sound Studios was an American music recording studio located at 212 N. 12th Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sigma Sound Studios was founded by Joe Tarsia in 1968. It was the second studio in the country to offer 24-track recording and the first in the country to use console automation. Tarsia was formerly the engineer at Philadelphia's Cameo-Parkway Studios.

In the 1970s Sigma Sound Studios was associated with Philadelphia soul and the sound of Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International records, a precursor to disco music.
David Bowie recorded his album Young Americans in August of 1974 at Sigma Sound.
Tarsia opened a branch of Sigma Sound Studios in New York City which operated from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s.
Tarsia sold Sigma Sound Studios in 2003.
The majority of the tape recorded in Sigma Sound Studios' history is part of The Drexel University Music Archive.
