"...Mark has got it all going on here, folks...
Mark wrote the tune,
sang the lead vocal and handled all
the recording and mixing duties.
A great song and a very fine recording."

one of those little hidden-in-the-woods treasures that offers not only superior
sound quality and superb technical skills, but a little escape from the
'industry' into a creative zone that can only make a recording project
better."
"For more than a decade
Mark Elliott has produced, co-produced, sang background vocals on, and mastered
seven of my CD’s.
Mark is an inspired singer
songwriter and he continues to inspire me with his creativity and passion for
music.
As a producer/engineer
Mark’s work ethic sets a high standard. His talent for, and dedication to,
making great recordings makes him the ideal person to help an artist realize
their recording dreams.
Mark’s gentle disarming
nature dovetailed with seasoned professionalism is the x-factor that nurtures
confidence and comfort for an artist in the studio.
I recommend Mark Elliott and Cub Creek Sound to anyone wanting to capture his or her artistry on CD. Mark Elliott and Cub Creek Sound have helped me realize my dreams as a recording artist and will definitely be a part of my music for years to come."
"I used Mark Elliot at Cub Creek Sound to record, master and mix my first bluegrass CD, and I was extremely happy that I did. Mark took the time to understand what I wanted, before the project began and was a consummate professional all the way through, making sure I had exactly what I wanted in my mix, and takes for each song. I have received many kudos on the high quality recording of my CD, and agree it is of exceptional quality. I plan on using Mark again for my next project and recommend him to anyone, especially if you want someone who takes pride in their work. It was a pleasure working with Mark."
"It’s a rarity to work with someone of Mark Elliott’s music row experience and talent and still get friendly humility, an affordable rate and a truly professional sound. Even though it’s only minutes from the interstate, Cub Creek Sound is a peaceful retreat in the beautiful Tennessee countryside – an inspiring place to make music. Recording there is an easy and professional process and Mark is extremely adept at what he does.
Being an excellent singer himself, recording vocal tracks with Mark is especially a treat. He is able to articulate valuable insight that many engineers cannot. Cub Creek Sound is a hidden gem for the songwriter, musician and artist!"

When I decided to do my recording project, I had several offers from the different studios in Nashville, but Cub Creek Sound had what I wanted. I found owner/engineer Mark Elliott to be compassionate, patient and supportive. Although he has his own successful career as an artist, his focus was on my project and not the past of what he has done. Cub creek Sound had the resources to provide musicians and mixing within a budget that I could afford. I had all the positives of the "big" studios without paying their big "price." Cub Creek Sound is the best way to record your project and will be my choice for my next one.

"I always enjoy working with Mark at Cub Creek Sound. It is always nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of music row to a quite, peaceful, country setting. For me the inspiration and relaxation that comes from playing in an off the beaten path environment, just adds magic to the music. I always look forward to making the drive."I had a blast working at Cub Creek Sound. Everything worked flawlessly. The entire engineering staff was prepared, pleasant and efficient. We got a lot of work done in a short time without ever feeling rushed in any way. I even managed to win two out of three falls with the resident upright bass. A great experience - looking forward to the next one."

"Recording at Cub Creek Sound was incredibly pain free. Mark lined up session players who were not only skilled but were also cooperative and inventive. The session vibe was cool. But above all, Mark was extremely diligent and meticulous in the engineering and recording aspect of the project and captured exactly the sound we agreed on during pre-production. Mark knows how to execute a tremendous package."
