I wanted to surprise my son with time at a recording studio for his Bday/Graduation present. He had…read morebeen creating music in his bedroom for over a year.. and needed the change of scenery and inspiration! Nicolas made booking the studio smooth and painless. 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. This will be the first of many more sessions for my son!

Ryan and I have become very close friends over the years. He goes out of his way to take care of me! I would like to give a Big Shout to Katie Davison whom I had the pleasure of meeting on Dec. 6th. She edited my concert video I did with James Burton. Not only is she totally professional, but brings a wealth of knowledge, and creativity to the table.. Add to this she is an absolute joy to work with.. We had only two hrs. to view the highlights, share notes, ideas. and a few laughs..Usually I sit in on every edit, but time would not allow this before I left for Tahoe. I went with my gut instinct that I was in good hands with Katie. Being an artist myself I know how important it is to bring your vision to life...I let Katie work her magic!! I sent her notes,pictures, and we spoke once or twice. Boy. was I right! Katie did an Epic job of editing and added an extra dose of love for her craft to the project. When I watched it the night before I left for Tahoe, I was so moved that I was brought to tears..Katie you are a Pro's Pro! I can't wait for us to work on this next project with the new footage from Tahoe. Thank you Ryan and San Diego Audio Video for years of friendship and Amazing service. Thank you Katie for taking such good care of me and my vision. People in the industry have commented on what an Excellent job you did...I highly recommended Katie and her creative talent!!

Cons: there is feces literally smeared down the entire length of a hallway on the walls. There's a lock on the bathroom (possibly contributing to the aforementioned), there was recently a fire in one of the practice rooms, there are ants, sometimes there are shady people lurking, smells like weed almost all the time. It does the trick but I can't believe I just gave 3-stars to a place with sh** on the walls.

It saddens me to have to write this review, because I really was impressed the first time with…read moreScott Sherod. Because of the first job (Green Screen) that he worked; I sought him out for a second longer term VFX job. This is where things started to go downhill. Suffice to say, after a couple of months of Special Effects (VFX) jobs, his true nature is now revealed. Apparently, when some jobs draw out too long with multiple revisions, he starts resenting the work. I paid him $400 for the first set of visual effects, and $600 for a larger second set. These were mostly simple taskings such as replacing a boat in a video, or replacing a background, The first set was without incident. The second longer job was the catalyst. (Both jobs were for a low-budget movie.) Sometimes VFX results need to be change for necessity or a new situation. As far as I can tell, the last straw in his frustration was a group of green screen tasks. I requested hi to use a cut/edited for the green screen background changes. He said it was no problem. Apparently, there would be a problem. I did not know that an edited source required larger amounts of effort, due to the multiple short film clips of various actors saying their lines. Scott continued to get more abrasive in his email replies, when his original estimated completion time of one week turned into 3 weeks. I did not complain, when the timeframe was extended; I only asked him once twice for a progress update. Except for a one or two days of multiple emails from him, to confirm details about the tasking, he didn't give offer updated projected completion dates, Finally, he completed the green screen project, however, the sound did not line up. After I brought this to his attention, he resubmitted a revised version with sound repaired. Please note, most of my received job projects were via online, from Google Drive. However, I visited him at his office many times to exchange data files. Because my Wi-Fi, was acting up, I asked to visit him at his office to upload the final version. He replied, "Your wi-fi is fine", when I replied it was problematic, he followed up with "Not my problem, go to Starbucks and use their Wi-Fi!" The following in quotation marks, is Scott Sherod's last email to me. It is shown, in order indicate his attitude toward customers: I reminded him, that I paid $1000 for all his work, and I believed I had a right to return to his office, as I had done very professionally over half a dozen times before. Mon, Oct 30 at 10:49 AM "Let me make this perfectly clear. You will download on your own. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME AT MY STUDIO OR MY SERVICES AGAIN! You have been offensive, insulting and incredibly disrespectful. You do not deserve any further generosity. Download the files and DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN!!! If you do, I will file charges for harassment. All my clients download their files on their own. So be a mature adult, download it as instructed, and DO NOT CONTACT ME AGAIN!!!" I believe his responses to a client/customer was unprofessional and quite frankly somewhat threatening. You decide, if my opinion of his message is correct. I then asked him to please examples of his claims against me. He declined to do so. In my estimation, I only respectfully cited some specific things that needed to be corrected in his paid for jobs results.

Employees there seem to care in person but completely vanish along with any trace of customer service skills. I will say they offered a free rental due to the issues with them getting me my camera. Turns out something had went wrong with delivery and they're looking for my camera with the business next door. Meanwhile, Im out 3k and waiting for these guys to follow up. It bothers me that they didnt check or call on me to give me updates unless I called them. Talked to Bill, the owner who sold me everything and he offered some free accessories if I didnt cancel the sale. Its been over a month later and I keep checking on it just to keep getting excuses and a "I gotta sort them out and send them to you". Im sure these guys are nice people but this way of doing business really put me off and I've shared with my producer and fellow filmmakers at Media Arts Center. Purchase from here at your own risk! Unmet deadlines and lackluster communication seem to be the MO. They're really excited to show you the facility in order to upset you or claim theyre the one stop shop for your production and equipment needs. If they have a hard time being timely and direct for equipment I paid up front I wouldn't expect them to be organized or honest with the facility bookings. Too bad. I was looking forward to being a loyal customer. ​
