Alan Ruiz
Before joining SAE institute I had no experience recording or using a daw. Even though I’ve played music most of my life and I had done some session work, I didn’t know anything about the studio workflow. I attended SAE because I knew it was gonna make me a well-rounded musician, plus being surrounded by people with the same passion it’s a huge asset for learning. It’s also great for networking, to this day I still work with some of my classmates. The faculty is amazing and full of working professionals. They are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you make the most of your experience here. Thank you to the SAE family for providing me with the tools to succeed in this industry.
