Capital G
"Capital G" is a song by American industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails from their fifth studio album, ''Year Zero'' (2007). It was released on June 11, 2007 as a limited-edition nine-inch vinyl in the United Kingdom, serving as the album's second and final single.

It is used for music creation and production, sound for picture (sound design, audio post-production and mixing) and, more generally, sound recording, editing, and mastering processes.
