Welcome to PaulAshmore.co.uk, a new independent website created to bring together Paul Ashmore’s personal consultancy, mentoring and advisory services outside of his work with Audio Animals.
Paul is the co-owner of Audio Animals Studios, a UK-based mixing and mastering company that he helped build from the ground up. Since its launch, Paul has played a major role in developing Audio Animals into an internationally recognised brand, working with artists, engineers, producers and companies throughout the professional audio industry.
Over the years, that experience has extended well beyond mixing and mastering. Paul has been involved in business growth, brand development, product feedback, marketing, studio development, equipment selection and wider consultancy across the audio sector.
This has led to opportunities to work with and support respected industry brands including Solid State Logic, Neve, Cranborne Audio, Zombie Rec, Freqport, Plugin Alliance, Native Instruments and many others.
Why PaulAshmore.co.uk Has Been Created
PaulAshmore.co.uk has been created to separate Paul’s personal services from Audio Animals.
Audio Animals will continue to operate as a specialist mixing, mastering and audio services company, while this website gives Paul the freedom to offer a broader range of consultancy, mentoring and advisory services under his own name.
The aim is simple: to make Paul’s experience available directly to people and businesses who believe they could benefit from it.
That could mean helping someone develop a business idea, reviewing an existing company, advising on marketing or pricing, supporting an audio brand, helping someone make an important equipment decision, or simply offering an experienced second opinion.
Consultancy for Everyone
Paul’s consultancy is not designed exclusively for established companies, major brands or successful artists.
In fact, one of the main reasons for launching this website is to make practical, straightforward advice available to people at every stage of their journey.
You might already run a successful business and want an outside perspective.
You might be an artist or engineer looking to build a sustainable career.
You might have a business idea but be unsure how to turn it into something commercially viable.
Or you may simply be facing a decision and want advice from someone who has already experienced many of the same challenges.
Paul’s approach is based on practical experience rather than theory.
Learning From Experience
Building a career and successful businesses rarely happens without mistakes.
Over the years, Paul has learned through experience, experimentation, calculated risks and, occasionally, costly decisions that he would approach very differently today.
Those experiences are now one of the most valuable things he can offer others.
The right advice at the right time can save months or even years of trial and error. It can prevent unnecessary spending, help identify opportunities earlier and provide clarity when there are several possible directions to take.
Paul’s aim is to provide the kind of guidance he wishes had been available to him earlier in his career: someone experienced enough to offer perspective, challenge an idea when necessary and help identify the most effective route forward.
Helping You Make Better Decisions
There is rarely one perfect way to build a business, develop a career or bring an idea to market.
However, there are often ways to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
By sharing the knowledge and experience he has accumulated over the years, Paul aims to help clients make more informed decisions, save time and money, and concentrate their efforts on ideas and strategies that have a genuine chance of producing results.
PaulAshmore.co.uk is ultimately about making that experience accessible.
Whether you are starting from nothing, trying to grow something that already exists, or simply looking for an experienced second opinion, the goal is the same: practical advice, clear direction and honest guidance designed to help you move forward.
