Signature Sound delivered an amazing experience for me. From having a top quality studio ready to friendly staff who were experts, the episode went flawlessly. Even better, the post production was so fast I immediately got a high quality recording edited within in 24 hours! Thank you Signature Sound for helping me.

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!

Security is a priority here, everyone has their own code to get into the building and there's plenty of lighting. The bathrooms and halls are clean. The rooms are definitely big enough to keep two drum kits set up all the time, so it's easy to share with another band. A/C is awesome during our perennial San Diego heat waves.

The owner, Nick, is a super chill guy and even though the rooms are a bit pricey compared to a lot of other places, the extra security (keypad entry and double locks) is well worth it. Also, the restrooms are very clean and there is plenty of parking.

Bertrand's Music is a music store focused on "school band & orchestra sales, rentals, lessons, and…read morerepair," as stated on their website. Our middle school band teachers works with Bertrand's Music exclusively and I understand that they trust them. The store itself looks nice. They had some instruments for sale displayed, along with music books. They have rooms for lessons in the back. The parking lot is usually congested though and parking is not easy. Our experience is only with getting an instrument repair quote from them. I'm sure the lessons and rentals are just fine here, but we would not exactly recommend Bertrand's for repairs, especially if you weren't even referred to come here by your school band for an instrument that belongs to the school. They have to ship out the instrument somewhere off site to even give us a quote, and we had to wait ten business days just to hear back that the instrument was unsalvageable and not worth repairing. They were unable to provide us with any written detail of what exactly needed to be repaired and what the cost would be. I'm not sure why they do it like this, because it appears a bit unprofessional. If you're looking for someone to repair a specific instrument that you own, we don't think this is the perfect place to bring it. It would probably be best to find someone who specializes in repairing that instrument to do it on site. Repairs were just one aspect of their business and it's technically a relationship between the school band and Bertrand's, so it didn't bother us. The staff were very nice and accommodating, and we appreciated that. They provided us with a receipt that the school needed, and it was as simple as that. Thank you!
