ANDY POIRIER

“I booked a consultation with Paul Ashmore and let him know what my plans were and how much I was willing to spend. He not only saved me a BOAT LOAD of money and headache, but also took the time to go through my project in detail. He 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 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 Paul Ashmore initially to enquire about his 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 spoke with Paul to ask his advice, he came down to my studio and completely reconfigured and calibrated all my software and hardware. He was on it all day and didn’t stop from 8am to 5:30pm. He was 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.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Is A One-To-One Online Consultation?

A one-to-one online consultation is a personalised virtual session with me, designed to provide practical advice and guidance tailored to your specific needs. Sessions can be booked for one hour or longer, depending on how much you would like to cover. We can discuss almost any area relating to audio production, mixing, mastering, studio setup, equipment, workflow, business development or the wider audio industry. The consultation can take place by video or phone call, giving you direct access to my 20+ years of industry experience in a flexible and interactive format. The aim is to give you clear, useful guidance that is relevant to your situation, helping you make better decisions, solve problems and move forward with greater confidence.

What Topics Can Be Covered During A One-To-One Online Consultation?

During a one-to-one online consultation, we can cover a wide range of topics depending on what you need help with. This can include mixing and mastering techniques, studio equipment and setup, workflow optimisation, business development, pricing, marketing, career guidance and wider audio industry advice. The session is completely tailored to you, so there is no fixed agenda. We can focus on the areas that are most important to you, whether that means solving a specific problem, reviewing your current setup or strategy, or helping you make more informed decisions about your next steps.

How Do I Book A Session And What Are The Available Time Slots?

To book a session, simply select the consultation service and choose the session length that best suits your needs. Once your order has been placed, I’ll get in touch with you directly to discuss your requirements and arrange a suitable date and time. I’m based in the UK, so if you’re booking from overseas, I’ll take the time difference into account when arranging the session. Consultations can usually be scheduled during the day or evening, and I’ll do my best to find a time that works well for both of us. Everything will be confirmed with you after booking, so you’ll know exactly when the session will take place and how we’ll connect.

What Should I Prepare Before My Consultation?

Before your consultation, it’s a good idea to make a clear list of the main topics, questions or challenges you would like to cover. If there are any relevant project files, session notes, screenshots, documents or examples that would help provide context, have these ready before the session begins. I also recommend thinking about what you would ideally like to achieve from the consultation. The clearer your goals are, the easier it is for me to focus the session on the areas that will provide you with the most value. Good preparation allows us to use the available time efficiently and ensures the consultation is focused, productive and tailored specifically to your needs.

Can The Session Be Rescheduled If Something Comes Up?

Yes, the session can be rescheduled if something unexpected comes up. I understand that plans can change, so just get in touch with me as soon as possible and we can arrange a new date or time. I’ll always try to be as flexible as I can and find an alternative that works for both of us, so you can still get the full benefit of your consultation.

What Platforms Are Used For The Online Consultation?

For online consultations, I primarily use Zoom for video calls. If you prefer, we can also use WhatsApp for either video or voice calls. I’m happy to use whichever option is most convenient for you. Both provide a simple and reliable way for us to connect and make sure the consultation runs smoothly and productively.

Is There Any Follow-Up Support After The Session Is Completed?

Yes, follow-up support is available after your consultation, but it is charged separately. Depending on what you need, you may not necessarily require another live session. For example, if you would like me to contact suppliers, research equipment, design a studio layout, review options, or carry out other consultancy work independently, I can handle this on your behalf. Any additional work will be quoted and charged based on the time and level of involvement required. This gives you the flexibility to continue receiving support after the consultation without needing to be present for every stage, while allowing me to dedicate the appropriate time to completing the work properly.

What If I Need More Than One Session To Cover All My Questions?

If you need more than one session to cover everything, you can simply book additional time as required. If, during the consultation, you decide you would like to continue for longer, I can check my availability and either extend the session where possible or arrange a follow-up consultation for another date. This flexibility means there is no need to rush through important questions or decisions, and we can work through everything at a pace that gives you the most value from the consultation.

How Is The Consultation Different From Other Services You Offer?

The one-to-one online consultation is designed to be a flexible, all-round session that can cover multiple areas of my consultancy in one appointment. Unlike more specialised services that focus on a single area, such as Dolby Atmos integration, equipment advice or studio design, this session allows us to move between different topics depending on what you need. We can discuss business strategy, technical setup, workflow, equipment, studio improvements, career development or any other relevant questions you have. The aim is to give you direct access to a broad range of my experience in one session, making it ideal if you have several different areas you would like to work through rather than focusing on just one specific service.

Are There Any Prerequisites Or Skill Levels Required For Booking A Session?

No, there are no prerequisites or required skill levels for booking a session. Whether you’re completely new to the industry or already an experienced professional, I’ll tailor the consultation to your level, goals and specific requirements. I’ve worked with people at many different stages of their careers, so I make a point of explaining things clearly and practically without relying on unnecessary jargon. The aim is to make sure you fully understand the advice being given and leave the session with useful, actionable guidance, regardless of your current level of experience.

What Is The Cancellation Policy For A Booked Consultation Session?

If no preparatory work has been carried out before your session and you need to cancel, there is no cancellation fee. However, if I have already completed work specifically in preparation for your consultation, such as studio layout planning, cable management design, equipment research or other bespoke preparation, the cost of the session may be non-refundable. Where possible, I’m always happy to reschedule the consultation instead. We can arrange an alternative date that works for both of us, ensuring you still receive the full value of any preparation and consultancy work already completed.
