StudioPros

Theodore Frederickson used Studio Pros to help him write and record his songs and won a highly-competitive songwriting competition from Broadjam.com.

“I vividly remember watching the very first appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was just a young kid,” remembers Theodore Frederickson. “It really turned me on to music, as it did many people of my generation.” Frederickson continued his love for rock music throughout his life, but didn’t enter the industry as an artist until he had wrapped up a business career. “In early 2008, I semi-retired from the business world and began focusing on writing songs,” he says. “For the last three years I’ve really focused heavily on songwriting, and I’ve worked with a lot of studios and musicians.”

One of the studios Frederickson began working with was Studio Pros, which he found to be “truly unique” among the many online services he tried. “Their process is highly interactive,” he explains. One of the things that made Studio Pros unique to him was the fact that he could adjust his songs as many times as he wanted during the recording process. “It’s unlike most demo companies, which just send you the finished product without any opportunity for changes along the way.”

Two songs that Frederickson recorded with Studio Pros, “Tragedy” and “Blissful Sadness,” won in the highly competitive 2010 Broadjam.com 6-Pack Songwriting Contest. Broadjam has almost 200,000 members worldwide consisting of musicians, songwriters and producers who review each others’ work and vote on the contest.

Did you ever wonder if your song has what it takes to win a songwriting competition?

There are many contests out there to choose from, including the International Songwriting Competition and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Boasting celebrity judges and thousands of dollars worth in prizes, winning one of these competitions could not only help you financially, but it could potentially bring great exposure to your music.

I used to think I should just send my songs to every competition possible, cross my fingers and hope you win one. But with typical entry fees around $30 per song and hundreds, maybe even thousands of other songs competing for the same prize, I realized that any songwriter would want to do everything they can to make sure their song is the best it can be–and that it can hold up to the stiff competition!

So the first question is this: what do the judges look for when deciding which songs are the best? The good news is, most good contests will publicly list the criteria they judge your song’s merit on. The bad news is, these categories can be vague and don’t give too many hints as to what makes one song better than another. I decided to come up with a few pointers to get you started in the right direction.

Get a custom track recorded in less than 12 hours or a full music production complete in just 2-3 days.

One of StudioPros advantages is the quick recording turnaround time. It provides songwriters who use our recording service to have a continues flow of creative ideas while producing their own albums. It also allows commercial agencies and TV music supervisors to get ques and music for spots and promos on demand and on a  tight schedule. The standard turnaround time between the time the client submits his order until he gets his first draft (our mp3 preview) is between 24-48 hours – faster than any recording solution available today. After approving the MP3 preview, it takes the studio about 24 hours to bounce and upload all of the final files.

When you need it FASTER than the standard…

We’ve come up with a rush service solution for those who need it faster.  With StudioPros’ Rush Service you get a custom track recorded in less than 12 hours or a full music production completed in just 2-3 days. We also shorten the time of waiting for the final files to be uploaded and upload it together with the preview for instant downloading.

Rush orders are assigned to a producer that will check the availability of the session musicians and create a specific time line for the track/production. We then stay in constant contact with you (the customer) to ensure your rushed tracks are delivered on time and according to your needs. If a change is required, it will also be done in matter of hours.
