Following is a list of Nashville demo studios that many of our students use and recommend. We have no other connection to these studios and recommend them strictly because they do excellent work at reasonable prices. Any business dealings are strictly between you and that studio. They will be glad to talk to you and send you examples of their product.

Remember that demo producers and musicians are not able to read your mind. The best way to get your demo to sound the way you envision it is to let them know exactly what you want. It can be helpful to play examples of songs that are similar to what you hope your demo will sound like.

Don't say, "I want it to be female country." Does that mean the contemporary sound of Faith Hill or Shania Twain, or are you looking for the the traditional sound of artists like Alison Krauss or Dolly Parton? Likewise, if you ask for "Female R & B," that could range from Aretha Franklin to Janet Jackson or Destiny's Child.

The more information you provide, the better your chances of getting what you want.
