He answered all my questions and was always available for the ones I forgot to ask. Nicolas was patient with me as I wasn't sure what my son would need. He found an engineer that would match with my son's style of music. Prior to his studio time, my son was contacted by the engineer, his genre of music making was discussed and then time was confirmed. :) Thank you to the Engineer Idriss "DD" that worked with my son. He learned a lot and had a great time. Thank you for being so patient and making the first time in the studio a great experience! He was excited and proud of his studio recordings! From inquiring, to booking, to creating, then paying... it was done all professionally . The facility is clean and has nice equipment too! Thank you Signature Sound.

So, this is it. That studio you and every artist with a regular guys' budget is looking for, and…read moreneeds. There's no BS here. These guys' website gives priced packages too, not 'call for a quote', which is nice to see. Because you're dealing with a nice, small business, you'll get time(if you want) to explain your project, your expectations, and goals, and these guys will do everything they can to accommodate you and your project. Great location, great prices, solid gear, solid rooms, very solid owners. Save money on making CDs, or shirts, but don't cut cost on your recording. And here, your dollars stretch out for you, so you probably CAN do more with your projects' budget. Ask for Patrick.

Although I've recorded here before in the past, spending more time in the studio recently made me realize how great it is. The owners are great and the staff is top notch. They have about 3-4 different studios, but Studio A is a great place to track drums. The studio is equipped with a kitchen, 2 very clean restrooms (thanks Hunter!) and a lounge equipped with a big screen tv, dvd and satellite tv. Above Studio A they even have a lounge where the bands can relax and observe what's going on down below. All in all this is the place. Blink 182, Wolfmother, Humpty, and many others have recorded there as well. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money to make your recording worthwhile....

I…read morewasn't expecting to walk into such a good environment, but surprisingly my experience was FLAWLESS!!! Not only does the BATKAVE have top-notch equipment, but JAZ made feel welcome & very at home!!! The song that I recorded there with JAZ came out better than I could ever hope for! Being able to hold a note or two helped, but without the EXPERTISE of JAZ with his VOCAL ARRANGEMENT, my song would have just been mediocre. The sound quality is GREAT, my mix came out GREAT, he even equilized my beat for better overall sound! Jaz is truly one of (if not) SAN DIEGO'S WEST KEPT SECRET!!! Jaz took me step by step through each vocal, giving me & at times correcting my notes, but letting me do what it is I wanted to do with my song, more coaching than changing. I eneded up with the song I brought to to him, coming out 10 times better than what I recorded on my own. He made me actually sound good! My project has to be recorded with JAZ, I just don't trust anyone else with it!!! JAZ is truly a phenomenal PRODUCER, ENGINEER,VOCAL ARRANGER & all around BUSINESS MAN!!! I appreciate the fact mostly that he's an honest guy, if it didn't sound good he said so (in a not hurtful way) & corrected it! Alot of engineers just click buttons & recieve thier payment! Jaz actually cares about the product he works on (whether he produced himself or not), & that's saying alot!!! I dare you to just try working with him once, it'll change the way you look at your music... I DARE YOU!!! Steve-O.G.
