StepsTone Studio opened November 1st, 2006 after the owner, Jason Ford, decided to
build a new studio based on the demand of musicians at HB Studios. Jason began
recording in 1999 under JFord Productions and teamed up with producer/songwriter
Dan Diaz to form HB studios in late 2003. Their success and understanding
of the art of recording and the San Diego music scene has grown tremendously
over the years and has led them to create a studio environment with professional
gear, amazing sound, and a comfortable atmosphere-now called StepsTone Studio.
Their rates are very reasonable, and they stand behind their commitment
to ensuring a quality final product.




"StepsTone Studio is literally a stepping stone for artists who want to get their sound out there for an affordable price, whether it is demo or album quality."

-Owner, Jason Ford
