An essential principle of the training process that SAE provides is the availability of professional, industry standard equipment for its students. Each workstation is designed to hone specific skills with individual practical time. This includes dialogue editing, full 24 track mixdown with all necessary outboard gear, ProTools multi-track editing and MIDI workstations. Similarly our studios increase in sophistication from typical production room setup to the top of the range studio configuration found only in high end environments. We train on a wide variety of equipment as flexibility, adaptability and a solid understanding of common principles are key requirements for future success.
Equipped with a Neve VR multitrack recording console, ProTools HD2, Genelec full range monitoring and a wide selection of outboard gear by manufacturers such as SPL, TL Audio, Yamaha and TC electronics this studio is a comprehensive production room. Students use this studio to gain first hand experience of music production environments.
Based around a Digidesign / Focusrite Control|24 and a dual screen ProTools HD2 recording and editing system this room is equipped for music and post production applications. Monitoring is provided by a Blue Sky 5.1 surround system with bass management controller.
This 24 track studio is based around a Mackie d8B, HR24/96 monitoring and HDR24 hard disk recording and editing system. This studio is predominantly used for acoustic recording sessions with a great microphone selection including Shure, SE electronics and AKG microphones.
Situated within the practical area this setup consists of a 24-track 2-inch tape machine, a 24-channel mixing desk and a rack of outboard gear. Students use this workstation to gain important first experiences with multitrack mixdown.
These workstations with the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors Logic Pro, Ableton Live! and Propellerhead Reason are available to students of the Audio Engineering Diploma Programme and Elecronic Music Production Certificate courses.
Students learn in depth features and professional use of these software packages.
This spacious open-plan area provides equipment for individual hands on training with workstations for 2 track editing, mixdown workstations, ProTools LE (multitrack editing and mix) and MIDI assignments using Logic Audio, Ableton Live!, Reason and various softsynths.
