"Being a one-man operation allows (ok, forces) me to wear different hats...but I wouldn't have it any other way. My clients appreciate the fact that besides engineering, I can produce, play guitar and bass, and if needed, round up Nashville's finest session players for their projects. Basically, I can take something from an idea in somebody's head to a finished CD in their hand. Or, if your arrangements are ready to go, I can record them cleanly and quickly."

Client Comments

"I've been around a lot of studios and Tom Manche's is the best...great atmosphere and equipment, but best of all is Tom himself. He is very patient, fair, quick, and knows how to gently get the best out of singers and players. He has access to some of the best in Nashville, and knows what it takes to get the "Nashville sound." He also has the ear for good production and harmony ideas. I usually do most of my own tracks at home in MD and send them to Tom. He adds the singer or pedal steel or whatever I need, and does a great final mix."
   Jack Bond, Silver Springs, MD

"Tom is fast but thorough, he makes excellent suggestions, and he's a lot of fun. He's also a great guitar player who can come up with amazing parts on the spot. His lovely grand piano and the woods outside are a nice bonus."
   Deanna Walker, songwriter, Zavitson Music Group, Nashville, TN

"I've worked at Tom's studio on several projects recently and I'm happy to recommend him. He's got a great space, a fine grand piano, a fast and versatile system, and a sure hand at the controls. Very professional, affordable, and it sounds good in the car when you leave. What more could you ask for?"
   Mark T. Jordan, songwriter/session keyboardist, Nashville, TN

"Recording at Studio X is always a comfortable, satisfying experience because Tom is able to quickly deliver the exact grand piano and vocal qualities I ask him for. His is the jewel of Nashville recording studios."
   Jim Stephens, singer/songwriter, Nashville, TN
