Andres Fernandes
Audio Engineer (Recording, Podcast Mixing & Mastering, ADR, Post Audio) at On The Mic Training
Already having 7 years of experience as a self-taught home music producer and artist, I was impressed by how much theory I had still left to learn in the Audio Engineering realm. Graduating from SAE Institute took all that previous experience and knowledge, and lifted it up to an industry-standard level.
There’s a clear difference between making music at home on a laptop, and getting the sufficient skills and proficiency level to run an entire studio. From recording techniques and running proper sessions, to hardware routing and post audio, SAE Institute taught us how to be industry-ready and be confident enough to be able to take on projects and finish them, as well as having a professional approach to them.
Shortly after graduating, I landed my first job as an Audio Engineer, working with clients, running Dubbing and Voice-Over classes, as well as gradually doing professional Post Audio work. Being an artist and Music producer, and SAE Institute also gave me the last pieces of knowledge to produce professional sounding tracks and be at my best performance.
The whole staff at SAE Institute Vancouver is very professional, amazing, friendly, and very understanding of our needs. The whole course really puts into perspective the amount of hard work we have to provide while giving us the necessary skills and contacts to enter the music industry.
