Music and Audio Technology at Singapore Poly

Alamak, how can they expect you to have a recording portfolio at the age 17? It's not going to be an entry requirement.
Like that hor, might as well ask the sound engineers in SG to go for the diploma.
No space for Students fresh for O'levels?

I used to do sound in church, I had a few cassete tapes that recorded the bands.
I don't see any other way to do it.

Unless....you go to a recording company, ask to mix one of their songs(which i think it's unlikely)

What kind of portfolio do they really want?

u dun hav to go for recording lah colarndo..juz show what u've got to make to make u suitable for the course...tink of it like a job interview lah..
the tapes that u got oso can...or u juz play around with watever music software like fruity loops, sonar or adobe audition, create some tunes..songs..burn it to CD..show them u can read music notes or tabs..tell them u got a band and let them listen ur demo..or if u got MD..go to orchard road on weekends and record Wicked Aura in action!!
