EASY the BEST recording engineer in UT and the potential to be the best in the world! You can't beat Jason's instincts and ear for ANY genre of music. It's rare to find a producer who can understand a musicians vision without having to explain it. Not only does he have AMAZING quality of studio equipment but he's a very talented drummer. I used his skills on my entire album and found it to fit my music extremely well. As if this wasnt enough reasons to go with Jason, his prices are VERY fair and reasonable. I was able to make an entire commercial quality album for WAY less than I planned on. I

If your looking for someone that really knows what their doing and is very genuine, honest and talented then it's Jason Jones. And may I add very reasonable priced which makes it so nice to be able to know that your getting quality work at a great price. Jason listened to my input and thoughts on my music and also added his musical perspective/talent which far exceeded my expectations. I'm very happy with his work and recommend him to anyone and everyone from a well seasoned musician or just starting out. Will definitely be back for more recordings, laughs and a plan old good time.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jason and my experience at Art City Sound. I am not a professional and was a little intimidated about going in to record. Jason helped make me feel right at home. It's a fantastic studio. He is incredibly talented and a true artist! The final product was beautiful!

THE BEST. Jason has great moral values, is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his clients and their satisfaction. He is continually seeking to improve his studio acoustically (and it already sounds great), aesthetically (already looks great), and technically (has great mics and systems). Jason also has the innate ability to hear what needs to corrected or added. GREAT EARS. He is a musically inclined drummer and is enthusiastic about laying down some beats for you if needed. If technical difficulties arise Jason has a great way of going about fixing them. (I think it comes

We had heard really great things about Jason and his studio from other bands and musicians, so we went to his studio with high expectations. Little did we know what we had gotten ourselves into by deciding to record at Art City Sound. We quickly became acquainted with someone we are confident in calling a genius. He was relentless in making sure every detail of our music was recorded and mastered with the highest quality one could achieve. His recording styles are well matured, mixing techniques, original and unmatchable, and his sense of enthusiasm for what he does in the studio is incredibly
