Six things we do, all in-house.
From the first musical sketch to the platform-correct master — every stage of audio production happens at the studio. Pick a service to see deliverables, timeline, and answers to the questions that usually come up first.
Deciding before you brief? Our guides to briefing, budgeting and delivering audio cover what to ask for, what it should cost, and the loudness specs your platform requires.
Already have a spec sheet? We publish loudness targets by territory and platform with the issuing standard linked on every page, so you can check the figure rather than take our word for it.
The studio is led by Abu Bakar Zahid, who has produced for Netflix, the PCB, and Khoosat Films.

01
Original Music Production
Composing original tracks, title tracks, themes, and sonic identities — written to picture or brand brief and produced to the loudness spec your delivery platform requires.
Typical turnaround — 2–4 weeks per track for the first round
See how we work02Film & Series Background Scores
Cinematic scoring and original soundtracks — the OST — for feature film, web series, documentary, and long-form digital storytelling, built cue by cue against locked picture.
Typical turnaround — 4–8 weeks for a feature; 1–2 weeks per episode for an episodic season
See how we work03Sonic Branding & Audio Identity
Sonic logos, complete audio identity systems, and jingles — built so your brand is recognisable in the first three notes, and documented so the next agency cannot break it.
Typical turnaround — 2–3 weeks for a full identity, 1 week for a sonic logo alone
See how we work04Sound Design & Audio Post Production
Foley, ambience, hyperreal SFX, and finishing — the audio post layer that turns a picture cut into a finished film, ad, or animation.
Typical turnaround — 1–3 weeks per video depending on length and complexity
See how we work05Mixing & Mastering
Loudness-spec mixing and mastering for theatrical, broadcast, streaming, and physical release — your music played back the way you intended it.
Typical turnaround — 3–7 days per song for mix + master; 1–2 weeks for an EP, 3–5 weeks for a full album
See how we work06Audio for Ads, Web Series & Digital Campaigns
End-to-end audio for TVCs, social cuts, web series, and digital campaigns — from the first scratch track through the platform-correct masters.
Typical turnaround — 1–2 weeks per campaign covering hero + social cuts
See how we work07Episodic & Vertical Series Audio
Batch audio post for serialised episodes — dialogue, score, sound design, mix, and the M&E stem that decides whether the series can be sold into another language.
Typical turnaround — Turnaround is set against the shoot, and the batch is scheduled as a season rather than episode by episode
See how we work08Session Musicians & Arrangement
From a single guitar part to a fully produced arrangement, the studio provides the musicians and the production judgement to build the sound a project needs. Played, arranged and produced here — not booked out, not brokered, and not generated.
Typical turnaround — 2–5 working days for a single overdub; 1–3 weeks for a full arrangement built from scratch, depending on instrumentation

Common questions.
What does Elephant Audio actually do?
8 service lines, all in-house at the Lahore studio: Original Music Production, Film & Series Background Scores, Sonic Branding & Audio Identity, Sound Design & Audio Post Production, Mixing & Mastering, Audio for Ads, Web Series & Digital Campaigns, Episodic & Vertical Series Audio, Session Musicians & Arrangement. One team takes a project from the first note written to the delivered master, with no hand-offs between vendors.
Which service do I need?
Original Music Production & Title Tracks — Filmmakers, advertising agencies, brand teams, and indie artists who need a track that is unmistakably theirs — not a stock library cut. Background Scores & OST for Film and Web Series — Film directors, short-film and festival filmmakers, series showrunners, documentary producers, and streaming platforms commissioning original score for a single project or a full season. Sonic Branding, Audio Identity & Commercial Jingles — Brand teams launching a new identity, advertising agencies wrapping a campaign, and B2C brands wanting a memorable audio mnemonic across channels. Sound Design & Audio Post Production — Filmmakers, animators, advertising agencies, and production houses with a locked cut that needs the audio post layer to land. Mixing & Mastering — Artists, labels, film composers, podcasters, and producers who have a finished multitrack or stem set and need the final loudness-correct masters. Audio for Ads, Web Series & Digital Campaigns — Advertising agencies, brand teams, and production companies running TVCs or digital campaigns that need audio handled in one place from brief to delivery. Session Musicians & Arrangement — Artists, producers, filmmakers, agencies and game teams anywhere in the world who need parts played and arranged properly — whether that is one instrument on a finished track or the entire musical foundation, worked on remotely. Audio Post for Episodic & Vertical Series — Producers and production companies shooting serialised episodic work — vertical drama, web series, or long-form episodic — who need every episode finished, measured, and delivered as a set rather than one at a time.
