Some History...

Advantage Music Production was founded by Jared Ribble and Sandy Tipping after several years of working together in Nashville's music industry. Tipping, a graduate of Berklee College of Music, moved to Nashville to perform as a piano player, and work as a record producer. Ribble, by trade a professional drummer having graduated Belmont University, found himself touring and recording, and filling the roll of VP-Operations for Reel Loud Records.

Sandy and Jared found themselves performing together on recording sessions, television shows and live events, and Jared was hiring Sandy to produce albums for Reel Loud Records. A great friendship evolved. Working together on recording projects, the two noticed some vast changes happening in the world of recording and producing: recording equipment became less expensive, and people flocked to set up their own home recording studios, many with little or no training. Of course, the cost to record an album went down, as some decent recording equipment became more accessible. However, as the costs went down, so did the quality of the recordings. Suddenly, everyone was an expert at producing mediocrity.

“Over the years of working at Reel Loud Records, the quality of the recordings that aspiring artists would send me plummeted,” explains Ribble. “It was obvious that the singer was very serious about their career. They wanted us to market their recordings to radio and retail, but the sound quality of the recordings was simply not up to the standards the industry would accept.”


Jared and Sandy knew that if these singers and bands were able to get themselves to Nashville, they could experience what professional production coupled with Nashville studio musicians and recording studios could do for their recordings. Advantage Music Production was born.

So what is the advantage in AMP? There are several. You benefit from the vast experience our production team brings to your project. Recordings our team have worked on have been sold in stores around the globe, and heard on radio stations across the country and around the world. We know the standard of quality radio and retail will accept, and how to obtain that standard. Also, we have put together a talented pool of studio musicians, recording engineers, and recording studios on which we draw. Every person that works on your project is a consummate professional, gracious, and passionate about your music. Finally, we offer unparalleled service. We care so much about the quality of your recording, and the personal attention we offer, our producers only work with one client at a time. For the duration of your project, your producer is focused solely on you and your music.

Don't you think it is time to give your music an ADVANTAGE!
