Galaxy Studios is a music recording, mixing, mastering and post-production facility established in 1980 by two brothers, Wilfried and Guy Van Baelen.
[2][3][4] Wilfried and Guy Van Baelen were 18 and 15 years old, respectively, when they started the Galaxy Studios in 1980 in the backyard of their parents home in Mol, Belgium.
They partnered with acoustic engineer Eric Desart of the Gerber Group and Professor Gerrit Vermeir at the University of Leuven and accepted the challenge of building the Galaxy Studios.
[5] In 1999 the final phase of construction was realised with a mastering studio and a film dubbing stage for audio visual productions.
In total the Galaxy Studios took 7 years to build and 318,000 man hours were spent to achieve the full construction of the facility.
[5] Around 2003, Sony Music installed the first DSD (Direct Stream Digital) console for SACD production into Galaxy Studios.
Auro Technologies also made alliances with partners in other markets, such as home AV (with Datasat) and gaming (with AudioKinetic).
