Demo Works
Get the best players in Nashville on your song! Nashville Demo Works tracks one live band recording session each month at Pentavarit Studios.
You supply a work-tape (mp3 or m4a format) that is clear enough to hear all vocal melodies and chords.
If you are choosing a singer from the Nashville Demo Works Demo Singer Roster then we will send the work-tape to that singer first and they will send back the correct key for the song to be recorded in.
Include references for other songs that fit the feel, drum style etc… Also note any signature instrument parts or production ideas that you are set on having.
Listen through our hand picked network of music producers from around the country and choose the producer with the right style for your song. Not all, but most producers play all instruments themselves and are excellent at programming.

You give the producer of your choice an in-depth description of the type of production you are wanting. Include references for other songs that fit the feel, drum style etc… Also note any signature instrument parts or production ideas that you are set on having.
The Producer takes those notes and creates a custom production for your song. (It is important to note that the songwriter needs be ok with giving the producer some creative control. It’s not going to end up exactly the way you imagine it. But usually it turns out even better.)
Nashville Demo Works has a different idea of what it should mean to “record a demo” for your song. These days more and more, as songwriters, we need to stand out. Give them something unique!
The old wives’ tale about A/R guys “hearing through worktapes” is just that, a wives’ tale. They don’t hear through a bad production or bad singer any better than anyone else.
So our new “songwriter demo” allows you to pick one of our producers to work with and build you a track that is cool, unique and doesn’t break the bank.
It will help your song to stand out against the rest.
Not all songs need a full production. Some songs really stand out better with a more stripped down production.
So with our A La Carte Guitar/ Piano Vocal you can build a custom guitar vocal.
Choose a demo singer, and choose any combination of instruments. Then interact and produce your own vocal session via the NDW Live Feed.
The cost depends on the amount of instruments you add.
