Battle Tapes is an independently owned and run recording studio in East Nashville that has been the…read morebirthplace of some fantastic tunes by local rock bands including but not limited to De Novo Dahl, Be Your Own Pet, JEFF, The Carter Administration, Apollo Up, Timbre, Turncoats and Hotpipes. It's owned and run by Jeremy Ferguson and Tony Read, and it's home to some really impressive equipment. Ferguson has been working as a producer and engineer for several years now, and he has his mixing down to a science. He and his people are willing to work with bands who have had very little exposure, and his albums always turn out well. Unfortunately, I can't provide an address for Battle Tapes, but you can visit their website and e-mail them any questions you have. Their website also has a list of gear (which is pretty impressive by any standards).

For piano tuning services, Fretter's is 5-star, particularly for the competitive cost and…read moreexpertise. Rick responds quickly by text or phone call at (615) 424-0158. During the piano move, the two movers seemed to struggle a bit moving the instrument (just an upright spinet) 30 minutes down the road but didn't end up damaging anything--home or piano. You do need to be upfront about your move logistics so that Fretter's can staff and charge appropriately: length of sidewalk, number of stairs, etc. Rick is no-frills. Like other reviewers have noted, his communication style is direct. He has a bag of tools ready for anything in his early 2000s minivan. His tuning fork and his ear don't lie. He has years of experience leading to successful repairs and tunings no matter your piano brand. Rick's provided realistic advice to me on frequency of tuning and if maintenance is worth the cost, based on my specific instrument that I acquired from Facebook marketplace. I've not been to the physical location in East Nashville in Inglewood.

I hired Mr. Fretter to move my piano from Murfreesboro to hermitage. He responded promptly to my…read moreemails and his pricing was very reasonable. The gentlemen who came to pack and move my baby grand were so polite and professional. They wrapped my piano so carefully with blankets and straps! They had several stops along the way so they kept me updated on exactly when they would be arriving. I will be using this company next move.

A prominent recording artist/performer introduced me to Hilltop about 2010 and I've been traveling all the way from Texas to record at there every 2-3 years since, most recently in April-May, 2018. We (session musicians, producer and I) have completed a number of multi-song, multi-musician recording and mixing projects there over the years. Hilltop's part in that work has exceeded my expectations every time. The "A-list" performers and songwriters who have recorded there are legion (it's the oldest continuously-operating studio in Nashville), but they've always been friendly and helpful to me, a relatively small-time indie, and never rushed or condescending; I get the feeling that I'm valued just as much as the "big guys." John Nicholson, the manager and chief engineer is extremely competent (he also does on-site sound for well-known touring performers), but laid back and easy to work with for both recording and mixing. There are two main studios. "A" is the larger, with a drum room with full kit, two other isolation rooms, a multi-station main room with grand piano & B-3, and 128-track (I think) capability. "B," has two smaller isolated studios and a smaller (but still big) board, ideal for less expensive solos, post-production vocals & fills, etc. There are comfortable lounges for breaks and plenty of room for observers. The computer system is huge and redundant, filling its own room. Access is easy: little traffic, lots of parking.

At first we were kind of thrown off by the location of the set. Gentleman at the gate was very nice and personable. Once we walked up to check in we were greeted by some more staff.

They have it set up so one lady gives you a release form, then you can go the restroom. Then you go into a holding area where you can take photos with the pickler and Ben sign and just hang out. Then this lovely women comes out and explains the roles and everything. They take you innthe studio which is beautiful btw. The crew places you in a seat as they see fit. I got in the front row...sooo I can't complain! They got the audience energized and it was such a fun experience. My face hurt from laughing. Kelly Pickler and Ben were sooo nice! They interacted with the audience a lot! I was like freaking out cause they sat in the front row by us ha. But the crew running that place is amazing, just getting to see how this show is ran like a well oiled machine is crazy. Sure they don't offer you water...we got some food that was demonstrated. I mean just the pick of the draw. But all in all a great experience !!! Can't wait to go back! Such a fun experience and shout out to the cast and crew for doing such an amazing job!
