Senior ears from capture to master

Audio Engineering

End-to-end audio engineering for music, voice, podcasts, and screen: recording, editing, mixing, mastering, and delivery handled by an experienced producer/engineer.

Audio engineering is the technical and creative craft that turns an idea, performance, or voice into finished sound. At Animus Studios, that work is led by Andrew Nolan across recording, production, editing, mixing, mastering, voiceover, podcast, and audio post projects.

The same engineering judgment carries through every stage: microphone choice, gain structure, monitoring, session organisation, edit decisions, mix balance, loudness, and final delivery formats. Keeping those choices connected gives the project a clear sound from first take to final master.

This service is the best starting point if you know you need an experienced audio engineer but are not sure whether the job is recording, production, mixing, mastering, audio repair, voice direction, or post-production. We scope the work, choose the right path, and keep the process direct.

How It Works

  1. 01

    Scope

    We review the project, references, source files, deadline, and release path, then choose the right combination of recording, editing, mixing, mastering, or post-production.

  2. 02

    Engineer

    We capture or receive the material, organise the session, make the technical decisions, and shape the sound around the project rather than a preset workflow.

  3. 03

    Review

    You hear the work at the right checkpoints, with notes and revisions handled clearly so the project moves forward without guesswork.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    We provide the final files in the formats you need for release, upload, broadcast, podcast platforms, or handoff to another collaborator.

FAQ

Audio Engineering FAQs

What does an audio engineer do?+

An audio engineer records, edits, mixes, masters, and prepares sound so it is clean, balanced, and ready for its final use. On a music project that can mean choosing microphones, capturing takes, editing performances, building a mix, and preparing masters. On voice or screen work it can mean booth recording, noise cleanup, dialogue editing, loudness, and delivery formats.

Is audio engineering different from music production?+

They overlap, but they are not the same. Music production is about the creative direction of a song: arrangement, instrumentation, sound selection, and performance choices. Audio engineering is the technical craft that captures and finishes that sound. At Animus, Andrew often handles both, so the creative and technical decisions stay connected.

Can I book audio engineering if I recorded somewhere else?+

Yes. Many clients record at home or another studio and come to Animus for editing, mixing, mastering, repair, or finishing. Send the stems or session files and we will check what you have, explain what is possible, and quote the right scope.

Do you offer audio engineering for voiceover and podcasts?+

Yes. Audio engineering covers voiceover, podcasts, audiobooks, and spoken-word work as well as music. We handle recording, direction, editing, cleanup, mix balance, loudness, and delivery so the final files sound clear and consistent.
