Everything we get asked before a project starts — grouped so you can find the answer quickly.
We respond within 24 hours with a plan, timeline, and quote. WhatsApp at +92 331 4495479 is the fastest channel; the contact form pre-fills a WhatsApp message for you.
Office 22, 2nd Floor, Big City Liberty, Gulberg III, Lahore, Pakistan. Remote work is standard — we have clients across Pakistan, the Middle East, and overseas who never visit the studio in person.
Yes. NDAs are signed before the brief stage. Film, advertising, and brand clients whose material is confidential until release sign before any creative work begins.
Ownership is governed by the Statement of Work signed before the engagement starts. Default for client-commissioned work is full-buyout — the client owns the master and underlying composition on final payment. Library and license-only arrangements use a separate document.
A single original track: 2–4 weeks. A 30-second TVC: 1–2 weeks. A feature film score: 4–8 weeks. An episodic season: 1–2 weeks per episode after the first. Mix & master alone: 3–7 days per song. See /process for the full workflow.
Two revision rounds are standard across all services. A third is available when the brief itself changes substantially mid-project — that's a change-order, not a free-fire pass.
Small reflows (a few seconds added or removed) are absorbed into the engagement. Major reshoots or restructures that require new musical material are scoped as a change order before work resumes.
Six service lines: original music production, film & series background scores, commercial jingles & sonic branding, sound design & audio post, mixing & mastering, and end-to-end audio for ads & digital campaigns. See /services for detail and per-service deliverables.
Yes — when the brief calls for an instrument or vocal that doesn't sample-replicate convincingly. Guitar, vocal, percussion, and saxophone are tracked at the studio. String and brass sessions are coordinated case-by-case.
Urdu, English, and Punjabi voice-over are tracked in-house. Talent is coordinated by us; talent fees are quoted separately so you can pick the voice that fits the brand.
Whatever the target platform sets: -14 LUFS for streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube), -23 LUFS for broadcast (EBU R128), -27 LUFS for theatrical playback. Specify the target in the brief and the final master arrives correctly calibrated.
Abu Bakar Zahid — music producer, guitarist, and composer based in Lahore. He founded the studio in 2018 to bring screen-grade audio to Pakistani film, advertising, and digital storytelling. Read more at /founder.
The studio has worked on 100+ client engagements since 2018, including credits for Netflix, Khoosat Films, Pakistan Cricket Board, Jazz, and PTCL. The founder, Abu Bakar Zahid, has been producing music since the mid-2010s and playing guitar since 2012.
For every project we complete, an amount equivalent to 5% of the engagement value is donated to a local animal-welfare or wildlife-preservation organisation. It's a small offset against the role humans have played in environmental damage.
