Captivating Acoustics for Your Sonic Journey
Recording/tracking
The main studio at Pegasus has pleasant, controlled acoustics and a separate vocal booth and can comfortably accommodate up to five musicians.
A wide range of microphones, including legendary Neumann and AKG valve mics combined with linear response acoustics, offers you a space to record music the way it should be, with clarity, intensity, and depth.
Crafting Musical Perfection
Mixing
Detailed and careful editing is vital to achieving a tight and punchy end result. In preparation for the mix, I work through tracks, bar by bar, note by note, tightening up loose timing, replacing inaccurate or smudged musical phrases, cleaning up ragged harmony vocal entries, and if necessary, pitch correcting otherwise great vocal performances.
This can be a time-consuming procedure but one that makes a world of difference to the overall project.
If you have recorded some tracks at home or at another studio, you can still bring me the separate audio files (or stems), and I can edit, mix, and master them for you.

Mastering
For your mixes to sound as punchy and rich as commercial high-end productions, they must be mastered before release. I will ensure that each finished track will sound its best, complete with any fade-ins and fade-outs you require.
Also, at this stage, ISRC codes can be embedded into the master to identify your recording uniquely.
I'm also happy to take your mixes from any number of other sources to master into one cohesive result.
Crafting Audio Magic for Media
Film, TV, radio & video
Pegasus Studios has worked on many projects involving the production of music and voice-over for film, TV, radio and video and audio special effects production. Especially when involving First Nations musicians.
Session Players for Your Musical Vision
Musicians
Day in and day out, I work with highly accomplished professional musicians who are happy to work as session players when required. Whether you need a rhythm section, string ensemble, backing vocals, or just an extra instrument here and there, I can bring in the right person or people all at a realistic cost.

Words from Our Satisfied Clients

As the drummer with Yothu Yindi' for 29 years, I have recorded in major studios the World over, but I never feel as comfortable as when I'm recording at Pegasus in my own home town of Cairns.
Nigel's lifetime of audio engineering means he always gets a great sound on my kit and his production guidance is the surest way to the best result.

I met Nigel Pegrum in the early 1990's and the idea of recording locally in Cairns Qld was highly appealing. This cemented our long-standing recording friendship together.
Our association has endured for over 30 yrs and I have recorded over 25 albums along with singles, voice overs and many other musician's albums.
I have never ventured anywhere else to record my ever evolving projects and music that I am involved in and hope that there will be many more recording occasions to come out of Pegasus Studios.

We recorded our first album at Pegasus in 2011. Working with Nigel was such a fun and easy experience, his honesty and understanding in our working relationship and production guidance created an album that truly captured our sound.
We then went on to record another 3 albums with Nigel, the latest receiving Golden Guitar and QLD Music Award Nominations.
Even though we now live 1500km's apart, we will absolutely return to Pegasus Studios for our next recordings!

Recording with Nigel is always such a lovely experience. He understands my style and transforms my songs from simple guitar/vocals into beautiful arrangements.
All of the little additions he adds into the mix perfectly complement the songs. All of the parts neatly sit together without making things sound overproduced or tacky.
I couldn't be happier with the final mixes and would highly recommend Nigel to any fellow musicians looking for great quality recording.
