Testimonials
Mark Gray writes from New York: 'I have been working
at Quad Recording Studios in Times Square for the Past year and 1/2 as
an assistant, and am now starting to freelance. I have been currently working
with the Roots on their new album going back and forth between LA, NYC,
and Philadelphia-- Also have recently worked with Alicia Keys on here new
album, Ruben Studer, Christina Aguiliara, and most recently Billy Crawford.
Sorry to name drop but I just wanted SAEUK to know that I am doing well
and that I would not be where I am without the strong fundamental training
and theory that I had received at SAE UK. I hope all is well, and please
give my best to all on North Road.'
Stefano De Maria, Recording Arts Degree, graduated Feb 2003, writes: 'just
a short mail to thank you and all the staff of SAE London for the
good experience, good instruction and even good mark you gave me! It looks
like I will start working for a national television in Milan,
something I didnt forecast but anyway a good experience to start.'

Random comments:
I would like to thank everyone at SAE for their excellent teaching and support on this great course and I look forward to receiving my Diploma
Hereby I want to thank every person at SAE for everything.
Many of your former students have recommended SAE(such as xxxxxx xxxx) as the best Institute for Audio Engineering in London.
0306 at SAE was probably the best year of my life!!!! Just wish people didn't have to leave!!!
Anyway i hope all is going well at SAE, and please give my regards to all my lecturers.
I had a great time studying there!
'I have to say that the module we did on Marketing/Business
planning etc was wholly invaluable [...] The one thing that the modules provided
me was confidence to go forward with my ideas and plans - so a big thankyou!'
'Everything is going very well here in Belgium. I found
a job in a great commercial studio as an assistant engineer for all 3 studios.'
'Hope everything is well with you. Things just got better
for me, I found a job at [...] studios in Camden, which is just being set
up. I'm engineering using the d8b, logic, and g4s there so being at SAE for
2years has helped out!'
'This is just to tell thank you for your help in finding
new jobs and for being (still) such a good help. '
'i've became a film editor for a post production company
based in soho, where luckily i'm doing some sound jobs as well with protools..
always love audio more than anything else,'
'Thank you for your reply and thank you for understanding
my reasoning. I have indeed learnt so much during my degree. Without it I
wouldn't be enjoying myself so much right now!!! :-).'
'Also want to let you know that studying at SAE was a great
experience and i would like to thank you for the opportunity. ... i know that i
learned a lot in and outside of school while in London. Moving to London opened
many doors for me and networking wise I was able to make key contacts and establish
solid relationships with many industry professionals. '
'Career wise, I got offered many jobs in record labels and
productions houses, but i decided to take an offer in Puerto Rico where they
have put me in charge of a new production company, they have given me a budget
to set up a studio, as far as i am concerned couldn't ask for anything better.
You won't be forgotten, good luck and thanks again, cheers'
'I had good time in SAE, and liked the whole thing a lot.
You are doing a good job and I know too often you don't get the gratitude you
deserve. So from Iceland; keep up the good work.'
