Cliff Goldmacher Music Production’s two ProTools-based studios are specifically designed to create world-class songwriting demos.

• engineering/production

  Cliff and his engineering staff’s 20 plus years of recording and production experience guarantee you a finished product of exceptional quality.

  Our engineering, production and instrumental work has been featured in major label releases, television shows, feature films and national ad campaigns.

• demo singers

  Many of the singers we’ve used (Gretchen Wilson, Jimmy Wayne, Buddy Jewel to name a few) have gone on to major label /multi-platinum careers themselves.

• session musicians

  Above and beyond our engineering and production experience, a big part of the reason our recordings have gone on to industry success is that we use the absolute best session musicians available in the industry.

  It’s not an exaggeration to say that on your recording you could have the Grammy-winning guitarist from Bonnie Raitt’s band, the Academy of Country Music’s bass player of the year and Kelly Clarkson’s keyboard player. Many of the singers we’ve used (Gretchen Wilson, Jimmy Wayne, Buddy Jewel to name a few) have gone on to major label /multi-platinum careers themselves.

• NashvilleStudioLive

  Without a doubt, the most unique and amazing service Cliff Goldmacher Music Production offers is our ability to stream the audio from our studio to you no matter where you are in the world.

  If you are a songwriter who doesn’t live in Nashville, then, quite simply, we can bring Nashville to you.

  Until now, the expense and time necessary to travel to Nashville to participate in the songwriting demo process has made it practically impossible for all but a very select few.

  NashvilleStudioLive is a ground-breaking, comprehensive online communication platform that allows you to participate live and full-fidelity from wherever you are while your song is being recorded in Nashville using A-list Nashville session musicians and singers.

  For the first time ever, you can make mission-critical recording decisions as the session is happening even from thousands of miles away.

  With only your computer and a high-speed internet connection, you’ll be able to interact with the engineer, session musicians and singer during your session as if you were with them in the studio.

  So, if you live outside of Nashville but you want a world-class recording without the added expense of travel, NashvilleStudioLive allows you to listen in and participate (live and in full-fidelity) while we record your songs.
