Rulings over home-based music studios are still bouncing around the courts, but that doesn’t mean you should wait to make that demo. Renting recording studios in Nashville just might be cheaper than you think.
You have a banger that you NEED to record. But you also NEED the money to record.
Recording the song yourself is out of the question. You'll never get your big break belting on your sister's karaoke mic. And the law regulating professional home recording studios is a little too precarious to chance it right now.
They say you have to spend money to make money. But they never said how much.
without breaking the bank has never been easier. Here's why:
A challenge to laws banning home businesses from working with clients on their own property has been in flux since 2017. It was that year that a music producer and salon owner teamed up to challenge the law. While things currently look good for home studios, there's no telling whether that momentum will change.
You have limited resources, money, and time. And you can't take chances with it. And luckily, you don't need to.
Over nearly a decade of uncertainty, rentable professional recording studios have popped up around Nashville. Not the pricey, big names along Music Row. We're talking about smaller, independent studios that rent by the hour or the day.
Perfectly designed for smaller operations, these fully-equipped facilities include stage-ready equipment, high-speed connectivity, and other industry amenities. Some are standalone; others are connected to podcasting studios or other broadcast and performance facilities.
Renting a recording studio does come with a cost, but it’s still far cheaper than investing in all your own gear—or taking chances with a home-based setup that exists in a legal gray area. A single day in a professional studio may be more affordable than many expect, and some facilities, such as InDo Nashville, even include practical conveniences like parking, which can be hard to come by in the city. That means more of your budget can stay focused on what matters most: getting your track finished.
