so i'll ask: anyone going to or was from SAE?

[ellenshane]

i'll be going to SAE come july. i've heard some gd things from some alumni but it seems everyone has different things to say.

anyone attended SAE? come out & tell me your story! i'm really interested in knowing exactly how SAE is. i want details! heh.

anyone IN SAE now?

 

[dhalif]

just graduated from SAE.. the lecturers are the bestttt im was in audio engineering class 0304x1...

 

[turbochicken]

wah dhalif you just grad from there ah? steady. i can ask for your guidance when in doubt then...coz i might be enrolling in the aug intake.

heh.

 

[teraslasch]

SAE.. their audio engineering better or la-selle?

 

[teraslasch]

??

 

[dhalif]

dont start comparing.. both have pros n cons... just from that my experience that SAE is a fun environment to learn in. Overnight recording sessions are the best ha ha ha

 

[teraslasch]

it seems that la-selle is cheaper? .. theres government subsidies for la-selle but not SAE .. hmm?..can u explain and tell me more abt ur experience in SAE?.. like how u get in? etc..

 

[ellenshane]

overnight?! COOL! tell me more about it!!

 

[teraslasch]

dhalif can u give us our answers? ... im anxious lol..

 

[teraslasch]

dhalif.. plz. u there? lol..

 

[dhalif]

hey sorry bout that.. i only had like 3 credits? on my Os(hurhur) so.. i did this mini exam they gave me.. and i passed.. so i got in..

overnight sessions.. u gotta book for overnightsessions like a week or few days before the actual session.. and it will last from 9pm until 9am next morning..

 

[dhalif]

and the fees for la salle and SAE is similar.. around there la..

 

[teraslasch]

and the fees for la salle and SAE is similar.. around there la..

i tot la-selle got subsidy frm gov.?

 

[ellenshane]

i hear alot abt having to record bands... is this the final project or something u've to do all the time? also i heard from the student services woman (murni) that we have to produce a dunno how many track album. any details on that?

will we be required to perform particular tasks? must i be the recording/mastering engineer for the entire thing or will i have a partner? & can i participate in the music-making, i.e. sing or play instruments?

 

[dhalif]

you can do everything on your own.. that includes song-writing process(theres music theory classes as well)..

for your 2nd project in audio engineering course you will be given an amount of time to complete a full recording with an analog studio(not really analog hurhur) but u will not be using any softwares to edit.. its all hardisk recorder.. u can either record a band or record yourself or whoever... just get the recording done.. theres no limit to how many songs ur recording as well..
and then you will have your midi project.. i did midi basslines, drums, keys.. and recorded live guitars.. and lots of other projects.. its fun.

for the partner thing.. usually you will be grouped into 3 per group(no more) u can also do it solo if you like.. err yeah thats bout it..

and yeah again... you can play or sing in any recording you do.. provided u have a partner to mend the console..

tera: la salle is around 9 - 10k yes? its the same..

 

[ellenshane]

thanks dhalif!

one more question: hows the music theory class like? does it go into detail? where do they actually stop at teaching?

 

[kOffkOff]

the music theory is just the most basic of the basic.

anyway whether the course is a waste of money or a useful one is entirely up to you. You need to be on the ball on your own.

 

[dhalif]

ahhh lol koffkoff is my classmate!

 

[teraslasch]

hmm.. i already have like grade 5 theory, can i skip the theory lessons? LOL.. :lol:

 

[trektechav]

4 words...... DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME with SAE. wasted my damn money there!
