If I wanted to cut a two or three song demo
in Nashville for my own pleasure, at my own expense, who should I contact?
What is the going rate for a studio with a four piece session band?

Hi Uwe,

Forum member Mike Headrick has a nice studio about an hour outside of Nashville. He'll set you up with a complete package at a good price. Contact him at steelfodder@aol.com.

Michael,
Thanks for the advice.
I know Mike to be a very honest and
helpful person. He sold me my Nashville 1000
at a fair price - a really great deal.

Dennis Paine, and Jim Unger have a nice studio in Nashville. Smiley Roberts would have the location etc. I'm sure.

Just stay away from the "Big Business" studios. They will only take your hard earned money and leave you hanging. If they don't tie you up in a contract that you will never get out of, you will be lucky !!

I've seen many song-writers and artist that has gotton tangled up with the "Big-Suites" and are still paying for it.

Some of the above post said it best:

Go with Mike Headrige or Bobbe Seymour or one of the smaller studios for demo cuts. While you may or may not get the mega-cut demo or be the next Elvis, at least you won't get hung up and stranded for the next 5-10 years in a contract that keeps you from letting the world know just how much better you are than some of those "New-Country-Acts" that is so P##-poor the public is having to endure.


See the Frank Parrish post below.
(DID YOU KNOW THIS) (a must read to embellish on this thread.)


Just my thoughts.......

Bill,
Thanks for the heads up on the interesting Frank Parrish thread.
The music business sure is a complex beast.
