Thank you Peter! If you're still in a sharing mood, I'd love to hear what they did with you. Thank you for the well wishes

Certainly; happy to help.

Cheers.
PS: no offense to Casey: but I hire BMG precisely BECAUSE they DO Classic Country & Country-Gospel, which is my "wheelhouse"...
all day long...
when it's not Bluegrass/Americana/Funk/R&B/Jazz... TMI...

Nothing wrong with country. I was just mentioning that if it's NOT your target genre, many Nashville studios don't do it well as the are a bit cookie cutter country. "Cookie cutter" was not said with negativity, just that they have a formula/method for cranking out country songs. They do that very well. Do I assume Film/TV is not your target with these songs?

My experience has been that if it's Taxi submissions for Film/TV you are looking for, many studios are not good at the whole "a la" thing. Hiring a Taxi member who produces is much more effective there. The reason I recommended NDF is it's the only one I've found that comes close to that. Also, studio prices are quite high (Can be $650-$1200 with WFH rights). I work with some Taxi members who do great work, understand the Film/TV "a la" game, and charge less than these studios.

Of course, it depends on your goal. If you are pitching country songs for artists to record, these studios are very well suited.

check out Azalea Studios, Great people, met owner Fett at Rally a few years ago. Very happy with the sounds they produce. Over a dozen songs with them from Rock to Jazz

Just got another one (co-write with songmaster here) accepted by the critical library, recorded by the studio I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Keep in mind though that with any studio, it will be costly and there is a good likelihood you will not earn the money back. It CAN happen, but the average earnings of a vocal song, lifetime, are most often not in that $600-$1000 range (90%+ can be $0 even if in a good library and artist cuts are few and far between even in the best of circumstances). So do it for pride, satisfaction, a chance to be in the game, etc. but not with starry eyes of earning thousands of dollars on the song. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

I will say that many of us who are non-performers/non-producers love the joy of finally hearing our song idea brought to life. It really is an amazing feeling.

Best,
Casey

Thank you to everyone for the wonderful suggestions. Congrats Casey. Great to hear that your getting accepted. I love to see people getting the progress they work for. Re: the studio stuff, yeah they're country songs for a modern country artist. I actually went to a few friends I knew in the business and set up a collab with them. I'll update here once I get the finished product so you can have a listen
