School started at March, 8th...

...and it is GREAT! Man, i need to update this Blog more often *lol*

Since March, 8th, this year, i am studying "Audio Engineering" at the "SAE Institute" in Cologne. First weeks were full of theory, BUT we are learning other stuff too, like Webdesign, Photography, Photoshop...all the basics though, to help ourselves if we should need it later.

The Equipment at SAE is superb - every Musicians heart would beat faster, seeing the phat NEVE - a analogue console - standing there. In a couple of months we will work with the NEVE and i can't wait, to tell the truth!!! *hihi*

AMS NEVE - 88RS

Also, i had big luck to have really great classmates. 20 Students in Class and we are only 2 Girls =) Within the first week i found new friends and we are all very excited for the upcoming time there.

End of March, SAE Founder "Tom Misner" showed up to do a Masterclass with us for over 2 1/2 hours. He is an Audio Education's Global Giant - he is viewed as the Big Bad Wolf - but i have to say - after i've met him - he is a pretty cool guy, down to earth, and he knows exactly what he wants.
We had a closer look how the Bee Gee's Song "Saturday Night Fever" was recorded back in the 70's and i can tell you one thing - it was fucking AWESOME to see how they did it over 30 years ago. Also he told us a bit about his past and how he started to build the SAE Imperium, which are currently more than 30 SAE schools teaching in London, Paris, Sydney, Munich, Singapore, Stockholm, Kuala Lumpur, Athens, Madras and several other locations.

He owns the Mastering Studio "Studios 301", one of Germany's biggest Studios and the Company "AMS Neve"

At the moment, i am working on several projects - new Compositions and Stuff for School - but i will keep this blog up to date now and write at least once a week a new update and maybe show you what i am doing in School =)
