“Larry’s charts made the recording seamless even though my songs are a bit more complex than many Nashville songs. Jim was lightning-fast making the most of the 3 hours. Outstanding sound, players and service. Musicians were accomplished and friendly. I appreciated that they were attentive and aware of time (and money). I was treated professionally by everyone at Beaird.”
“I was told that Beaird is more expensive than some other studios. Having said that, no time was wasted and the final results were outstanding. I believe that the professional attitude from Larry on down made the session efficient and made it a rewarding experience professionally and personally. Having spent thousands of hours in TV and recording studios, I am impatient with sloppy production facilities. They ruin the momentum and never get the best out of talent. The opposite was true at Beaird.”

“I’ve done several demos with these folks and have always been more than pleased with the outcome. Even though I wasn’t able to attend the sessions personally, through phone and e mail conversations they were able to get to the heart of the song every time!…Beaird Music rocks!”

Kent Blazy

“The recording process, from charting to mixing, exceeded our expectations. The musicians were clearly the best in Nashville and the vocalists were spot on. We will definitely be coming back to demo some more future hits. They listened to it once through and were finished in under 30 minutes…and it’s some of the best instrumentation I’ve heard on a country ballad. Jim is awesome, too! Tytus, Larry, Jim and everybody in the building were so accommodating & thorough. I’ve never felt more at home in a studio.”

“Tytus was so prompt & thorough with his responses that he made us drop the other studio we were considering because the guy would never get back to us. Plus, your samples were better, so that helped, too. I always knew the song had hit potential, but now I’m certain this demo will open doors that were previously closed & locked. The quality truly conveys the song’s message and emotion.”

Mike Dean

“I just wanted to take a moment and express my overwhelming gratitude for the ENTIRE crew at Beaird Music Group. You guys so very much rock the proverbial house down!! The process was new to me, and Tytus and Aaron did a wonderful job guiding me through the process. Larry Beaird did a phenomenal job charting my songs and adding suggestions to make them top notch. All the musicians, which are too many to name, were like wizards with some sort of magical powers, and breathed life into my acoustic demos. And lastly, Lisa Gregg added such a sweet edge to my vocals with her angelic voice.”

“Everyone there at Beaird’s GENUINELY cared about the finished product and making it the best it can be and not just doing a job and getting me out of there. In closing, I cannot thank you guys enough or give you enough credit for a job very very well done! I love you guys!” Mike

“Exact perfection. Larry has the magic touch on guitar. Paul Bogart delivered incredible vocals on my song. Beaird Music Group made it sound like a real Nashville record. Very pleased with the pricing. I will only go to Beaird’s for my pitch-ready demos!”

“So easy to have a demo done, and very creative with production. I like how the arrangement of parts are simple yet not too simple or boring. Very dynamic and catchy. Awesome mix and always willing to mod/change if required with no fuss. Tytus and Aaron are prompt and will do anything for you. They do a great job. Easy in/ easy out! No fuss with billing. Great price. To do the same thing in Australia, I was quoted $1800!! You guys rock!”

“You guys must hear a lot of fantastic songs submitted by professionals and aspiring professionals alike, along with a lot of unpolished craft submitted by those of us that are trying to become the songwriters that we want to be. I’ve always been impressed with how professional you all are. Your songs come out radio ready even when they sometimes are not ready for radio.”
“I get taken more seriously by industry when I submit a demo of this quality for pitching or feedback purposes. I end up with better quality feedback. I am not a performer or singer, for me its all about the song. I hear lots of mixed messages about getting demos cut, when is the right time etc. I think the “right” time differs for everyone and for a whole range of reasons. I know that when it is the right time, I want to record the song with Beaird Music Group. The benefits outweigh the costs and I end up with a fantastic recording to pitch and listen to.”

“Very professional and conscientious throughout the whole process. Great communication from all involved. The three songs were as different as night and day, from uptempo country, to swampy to a rodeo song. The band had a great feel for each of these different styles. The price was competitive for talent of this top caliber. Keep up the great work.”

Larry Singleton
“You folks try so hard to make everything right, and the product is always perfect. I’m a fan of yours for the long run. Thanks!”
