If you are hoping to do anything in the music business besides practice in your basement, you had better think about getting a demo tape out. A demo is your ticket to getting local gigs as well as what you need to submit if you are hoping to get signed to a record label. A demo should contain a sample of your best songs and be produced in as professional a manner as possible. If you are not familiar with music production technology or need sounds on your demo that you can't produce yourself, you should consider looking for Demo Recording Services.

Von Ukuf Productions offers Demo Recording Services. We will have you mixing live in our mixing room, which has the "Industry Standard" in mixng equipment: Pioneer CDJ 1000 MK3, and a Pioneer DJM 800 mixer. The Pioneer mixing board is is fed directly into state of the art recording equipment so that your demo will sound as good as possible. At the same time, the rental of a recording studio usually means that you are also employing the services of a professional producer who will help you to get the best mix of tones on your demo. This is an invaluable music demo service, and is included in all of our packages to avoid any unexpected fees.
