Dear Client,
Thank you VERY MUCH for choosing to work with Nashville Demo Studio! We are really excited to work with you on recording your song demo! We here at NDS pride ourselves on two important things: 1.)The BEST quality demos at the lowest prices and 2.)The BEST customer service in the industry.  I've said it before and I will say it again, it is of the highest importance to me that you are treated like a rock star! 

The best way I know how to give you incredible customer service is by excellent communication.  It is imperative to me that every step of the song demo process is explained and agreed upon prior to your session.  I want you to know exactly what to expect so that you can concentrate on the creative side of things (the fun stuff!) and let me and my staff worry about everything else.

I have outlined, EVERYTHING you need to know below. Please take the time to go over everything.  I've also included a 'Client Demo Worksheet" for you to use for your records. I use one for my own demos so that I have a record of who played on what, etc.  It's also a great way to ensure that you have provided us with everything we will need to make a great demo for you.

Hope all of this information helps to make the demo process a fantastic experience for you!
