Andy Poirier
“I booked a consultation with Audio Animals and let them know what my plans were and how much I was willing to spend. They not only saved me a BOAT LOAD of money and headache, but also took the time to go through my project in detail. They helped me pinpoint my weak links and advised me on the equipment that would benefit me. In the end, together we engineered a setup that really improved my tracking and mixing capabilities without buying all the excess I thought I needed.”
Danny Kirsch
“For me my consultancy was all about saving money. I have no idea how to build a studio from scratch and wasn’t prepared to spend my money with trial and error to find out. Paul from Audio Animals advised me on materials, where to get them and how much I would need. I ended up building a studio that was built to a similar spec to his, which we all know is one of the best in the world. Without his expertise and knowledge I wouldn’t have the studio I have today. Money well spent.”
David Spill
“I contacted Audio Animals initially to enquire about their PMC speakers. It was important to me to get first hand user experience on them before spending £50k on monitors. A small price to pay considering the huge investment I was making. Paul walked me through his PMC system and advised me on exactly what I would need to achieve the best possible monitoring. He even introduced me to a PMC dealer who saved me a good amount of money.”
Jason Lattuca
“I recently built a project studio, I called the guys at Audio Animals to ask their advice, they came down to my studio and completely reconfigured and calibrated all my software and hardware. They were on it all day and didn’t stop from 8am to 5:30pm. They were well mannered, super respectful and appreciative of my property and equipment. Super polite and professional and got my studio running like a dream. Brilliant service.”
ONE-TO-ONE MIXING & MASTERING TUITION FAQ
What Topics Can Be Covered During A One-To-One Tuition Session?
During a one-to-one mixing and mastering tuition session, any topic you want to cover can be addressed. Whether you’re looking to dive deep into compression, EQ, or any other specific technique, Paul can tailor the session to your needs. If you have particular areas of interest, just let Paul know in advance so he can prepare accordingly. If you’re unsure what to focus on, Paul will help identify the most beneficial topics at the start of the session, ensuring the time is used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Is This Service Suitable For Beginners Or Only Advanced Engineers?
This service is especially well-suited for beginners who want to improve their mixing and mastering skills. Paul focuses on teaching the essential knowledge and techniques that aren’t typically covered in formal education, tailoring each session to what you need to know rather than following a set curriculum. Advanced engineers can also benefit, but the primary aim is to help those who want to build a strong foundation and gain practical, real-world skills.
Can I Work On My Own Tracks During The Session?
Absolutely! You can work on your own tracks during the session. Paul encourages using your own projects so you can apply what you learn directly to your music. This hands-on approach ensures that the techniques and insights you gain are immediately relevant and practical for your work.
How Is The Session Delivered – In Person Or Online?
The session can be delivered both in-person and online. While online sessions are highly effective, in-person sessions offer additional benefits. Being physically present allows Paul to show you exactly what to do, making it easier to understand and hear the differences in real-time. It’s almost like working side-by-side in the studio, allowing you to apply what you learn in a comfortable, hands-on environment.
What Do I Need to Prepare Before My Tuition Session?
Before your tuition session, make sure you’ve sent over your files if we’re working online. This ensures that Paul can download and load everything into a session ahead of time, so you won’t waste any of your session time on setup. For in-person sessions, the same principle applies: have everything prepared and ready to go. This way, you can maximise your time with Paul, focusing entirely on learning and applying new techniques rather than on session setup.
Will I Receive Feedback On My Mixes During The Session?
Yes, you can definitely receive feedback on your mixes during the session if that’s what you want. We can tailor the session to focus on providing detailed feedback, or we can incorporate feedback naturally as we go through mixing and mastering techniques. Ultimately, the session is fully customised to help you achieve your goals, whether that’s receiving constructive feedback or diving deep into specific aspects of your mix.
How Long Are The Tuition Sessions And Can They Be Extended?
Tuition sessions can range from one hour to eight hours. If you’d like to extend your learning, you can book additional hours or schedule another session for the following day or the next available date. This flexibility allows you to tailor the duration and frequency of your sessions to fit your needs and schedule.
Can We Focus On Specific Techniques Like Compression Or EQ?
Yes, we can focus on any specific techniques you want to learn, such as compression or EQ. Whatever your goals are for the mixing and mastering tuition, the session will be tailored to help you achieve them.
Is The Session Fully Interactive, Or Is It More Of A Lecture Format?
The session is fully interactive. Paul won’t just sit down and lecture you; instead, it’s a collaborative conversation. You’ll engage directly, discuss your goals, and work through techniques together. This ensures a hands-on learning experience tailored to what you want to achieve from the mixing and mastering tuition.
Will I Get A Recording Or Notes After The Session For Reference?
Yes, you can get a recording of the session if you’d like. For online sessions conducted over Zoom, we can record everything discussed and shared during the call. For in-person sessions, you’re welcome to set up a video or audio recording device to capture the session for future reference. This way, you can revisit the material and reinforce what you’ve learned at any time.
