Definitely worth the drive to Nashville. Rick, Johnny and all the staff made us feel right at home from day one. Everything from tracking to mixing was an incredible and enjoyable experience. I knew from the first time I toured Daywind Records Studio and met with Rick and Johnny that this was the place we would be recording our CD projects from now on. They have an incredible sound quality that is unbeatable! And they all have a heart for christian music. If your looking to make phenomenal music and still have that one-on-one studio atmosphere, this is the place to be!

I have had the privilege of working with Daywind Records on several occasions. Each time Daywind has shown themselves to be a company of integrity. From the engineers, producers, musicians, vocalists, to their customer service they create an environment of professionalism while maintaining a level of individuality with their artists. I especially like working in a Christian atmosphere with real people who attend real churches who have real everyday issues that we as individuals can relate to. Jonny and Rick are GREAT! I highly recommend Daywind Records for a great recording experience!
