Questions, Answered
Where is Animus Studios located?+
Animus Studios is at 112 Petrie Terrace, Petrie Terrace QLD 4000, minutes from the Brisbane CBD, Milton, Paddington, and Fortitude Valley. There is easy access from across Brisbane and Southeast Queensland, and we also work remotely for artists anywhere in Australia and overseas.
Who runs the sessions?+
Sessions are led by lead producer/engineer Andrew Nolan, a recording, mixing, and mastering engineer with over 16 years of experience and credits including Ian Gillan, Example, Disney, Amazon, and Audible. You work directly with an experienced engineer, not a junior.
What is the difference between mixing and mastering?+
Mixing is where the individual recorded tracks (vocals, drums, guitars, synths) are balanced, treated, and combined into one cohesive stereo track. Mastering is the final polish on that stereo mix: level, tone, and loudness optimised so the track translates across every playback system and meets streaming and release standards. Our guide explains the difference in full.
Do you record voiceover and narration?+
Yes. Our isolated voiceover booth is built for clean, broadcast-grade voice recording, and Andrew directs sessions with voice-coaching experience from masterclasses and commercial work for clients including Disney and Amazon. We handle commercial reads, narration, e-learning, and character work.
How do I book a session?+
Use the Book a Session button to send us your session type, preferred room, hours, and dates, or contact us directly. We will confirm availability, recommend the right room and approach, and lock in your booking. Every enquiry goes straight to our team.
How much does a session cost?+
Rates depend on the room, the session type, and whether you need an engineer or dry hire. Recording, production, mixing, and mastering are all quoted to suit the project. Tell us what you are working on and we will give you a clear quote.
Can we book a consultation before committing to a full production?+
Yes. Creative pre-production consultation is a standalone service. We map your brief, references, budget, and timeline so you know what to record, who to involve, and what deliverables you need before you book studio time.
