Professional Song Demos, Music Production & Music Demos
Whether you live in Kalamazoo or Kankakee, Keokuk or Kokomo, Kenosha or...well, you get the idea, now you can get a professionally done music demo of your song from "Music City", Nashville, Tennessee.
Nashville has one of the greatest talent pools in the world, so you can rest assured that the people bringing your creation to life will be first rate. Besides seasoned studio singers and players, you'll have an experienced engineer and producer using state-of-the-art equipment. In short, all the elements necessary for great sounding songwriter demos. All music production is done at Studio X, Nashville, TN.
We offer two types of song demos. The simpler, and therefore less expensive type, consists of a vocal and one accompanying instrument, typically a guitar or piano. The other type is a full band production, fleshing out the arrangement with bass and drums, and/or whatever is most appropriate for the particular song.
Customer Comments
"I have found Tom Manche to be unusually helpful, insightful and a
genuine
pleasure to work with. His strong desire to produce the song a writer holds
in his or her mind is quite apparent."
Ron Phillips, California
"Tom transitioned my rough demoes into
full-blown productions and saved me the time, hassle
and money I would have spent had I attempted to do
this locally. He is a man of his word--
everything was on-time and he delivered quality beyond
my expectations. As a producer & engineer
he is top-notch. I would highly recommend his services."
Mike Semanski, New Jersey
"Contact Tom Manche for quality unsurpassed and friendly advice from a
real human being that knows what your work means to you. I like dealing with
a pro."
Betty E. Beaty, Alabama
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it going to cost me an arm and a leg?
Don't worry, no appendages are in danger. The simple demo costs $200, and
the full production is $400.
What do I need to send in?
Basically, anything that would help us deliver a version of your song that's
as good (or better!) than the version in your head. That would include:
- A legible lyric sheet.
- Some version of the melody. This could be you singing into a cheapo
recorder or a rudimentary lead sheet.
- Chord changes (if you know them). If you don't you can give us free rein
to find something fitting.
- Style preference, and any special requests or suggestions, e.g. "bluesy
female vocal," "I'd love a country fiddle," or "heavy metal drums." Just let
us know--we aim to please. Of course, outlandish requests may require
additional fees ("I really hear a 40-piece marching band on the chorus").
And, oh yeah:
- A check or money order for the appropriate amount. Or you can pay online via secured credit card or Paypal.

What will I be receiving?
Upon completion, you'll be sent two CDs (one as a backup). Each disc will
have the final mix of your song. If you want I can add on each CD an additional mix with no vocal on it.
The no-vocal version is useful if you want to add a different vocalist, or
perhaps sing live to it. let me know with your order if you also want the no-vocal version.
How long does it take?
Turnaround time is usually 2-6 weeks, depending on our current workload. Email us and we can give you a more exact time
estimate and answer any other questions you may have.
