Our competitive Gold and Platinum LIVE BAND Demo packages listed above, are all tracked real-time during what we call a ‘slam-jam’ session, here at Song City in our Trident Room. We use some of the most seasoned, and credited musicians in Nashville. The players we use have played on several hit artists records, such as Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, and more. Unlike our Silver packages, these tracks all go down LIVE with all the players on the same session.

FREE Pre-Production and Song Charting*
All songs submitted to be demoed will receive a FREE complimentary Pre-Production meeting, via Skype or over the phone, with our experienced Nashville producer, Dave Demay. Dave has nearly 30 years of production under his belt, and as a producer engineer he stays current to the marketplace with his ear, his ideas, and his mixing approaches.

Song Charting is FREE, but the only time that additional charting fees come into play, is if an extraordinary amount of extensive composition is involved, which you can read more about by clicking on any of the links in this paragraph.

Time Slots
Each demo gets an average tracking slot of not much more than 30 minutes with the band, with producer, Dave Demay, at the helm insuring the client’s pre-production requests are being met to the client’s satisfaction. We know 30 minutes ‘seems’ like a short window to cut your song, but as you can tell when you listen to our demo playlist, our master-level A-Team musicians are amazingly efficient, quick and effective at getting you the best demo that you can get at such an incredible bargain. They are attentive to being aware of each song’s theme, its material substance, and they make sure to give every song a unique approach. They are awesome at what they do.

Dave has worked with these musicians for several years. Some for more than a decade and others, longer than that. Although other elements are very important to the final process, musician selection and a quality recording environment is a crucial first step.

Shared Sessions
Our extremely competitive demo packages are possible because they are recorded on sessions that are shared with other songwriters who are having their songs cut also. This collective of writers helps add more songs to our sessions, making it more affordable to bring the live band together. This is one of the things that makes our pricing so competitive, given what all is included.

Studio Time
These demo packages include up to 3 hours of studio time for vocals and mixing. Additional studio time that goes beyond what is allotted in the package is $100/hour.

For the more budget-restricted songwriters and publishers, our Silver overdub ‘Build-Out’ packages, either the “Mixed and Mastered” Silver package, or our “RAW” tracks are unique in the sense that all the instruments and vocals are overdubbed one part at a time and we use top-quality drum samples (Superior Drummer) to sequence the drums. The bass may be played using keyboard samples or a real bass. The bass sample is very convincing and the fact that it is a sample is virtually undetectable outside of certain human and stylistic characteristics.

Although most agree that nothing quite matches the vibrant energy and spontaneity of a LIVE band performance when they are all tracking at the same time and feeding off one another in the moment, but the Silver ‘build-out’ Package this is an excellent alternative if your finances cannot fit into a LIVE band budget. So be sure to take a look at either our “Mixed and Mastered” Silver package, or our “RAW Demo” Silver package.
