Country Music Production in Music City USA
Tell me about your project and your vision for your songs. You will need to send me a worktape (this can be as simple as you playing guitar and singing into your cell phone).
I will do a rough arrangement and send that to you so we can make sure the key, chords, tempo and feel all are right. Once we have that down we can begin with the actual production! If you are an artist/vocalist we would of course love to have you record your vocal here in Nashville or if you are a songwriter but not a singer we can have one of our amazing singers record the vocals for you. We can also put together all the music tracks and send them to you in any format you wish and you can record the vocals in a studio of your choice. Many times artists will send me a demo that they have created with Suno or Ace Studio etc and that is great! This gives us a good snapshot picture of the vibe and basic arrangement that you are looking for.

As a Songwriter or Artist only you really know when your song is written and you've said everything you need to say.
Here is a list of things to check off before you send your song out to a producer for production.
-
This one may seem obvious but your song needs to be finished. Don't send a producer that you don't already have a working relationship with an unfinished song.
-
Make sure your song has a workable structure that makes sense. Avoid odd measure bars unless you are including them with purpose. Compare your song to Commercial Releases that are similar to your song. If you're not sure about timing try to work with a guitarist, keyboard player or drummer that can help with timing and arrangement.
-
Make sure your chord progression works with your melody. If you're not certain about this, work with a guitar or keyboard player to iron out any potential problems in this area.
-
If you will be recording the vocals yourself make sure you have decided on a key and tempo. Make sure you can hit all of the notes in your melody comfortably without having to reach too much. Also be sure the tempo is right so that you can comfortably fit all of the words without having to rush. Alternatively you don't want the song to drag either. If you are not certain about this let your producer know up front and work it through together with your producer.
-
Make a good Worktape. A worktape is simply a recording of your song. It should represent the basic structure and melody of your song. Your worktape needs to be of decent quality so that all of the audio can be heard and understood clearly. You'll need a guitar or keyboard accompaniment so that the arrangement can be heard. It's important to make your best impression up front and give your producer the highest quality worktape that you can make.

Follow these simple guidelines and you'll be ready to take the next step - Recording your song!
