I contacted Alan Sanderson at Pacificbeatstudios.com I set an appointment to tour the facilities and explain my vision for the 7 song EP. The place is very comfortable, with wood and and an earthy vibe, which all artists know is almost more important than the gear. Alan's many years in the business allow him to immediately grasp your vision and help you take it to the next level. This is a first class facility, with bathroom, snack area and temperature controlled. He had all the gear setup when we arrived to record. We did 7 songs in 4 hours and it took another 6 hours of editing, mixing mastering to get what I know to be the best recording possible. I highly recommend you bypass other studios and go to a pro that will ensure the finest finished product possible. If you want to hear the high quality CD, just contact me and I will send you a sample. James-Aaron-Jack Ghost Jazz Trio https://www.facebook.com/ghostjazztrio/ https://theghostjazztrioband.com/

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 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.

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.

The vintage fender rhodes is definitely my favorite. We've enjoyed having practices there and will definitely be recording our album there as well! Best studio in San Diego by far!
