SAE New York Campus Information
Conveniently located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, SAE’s New York campus studio and instruction complex houses 33 studios/technology labs/personal workstations, providing an array of state-of-the-art studio setups and situations. The complex’s main studios house state-of-the-art recording consoles including a Neve 88R and an SSL4000 G+, respectively, along with an additional Control 24 Surround Suite complete with THx certified monitoring from Blue Sky International. The facility, which is now 50% larger than SAE New York’s original location, also contains 3 ProTools Suites with Macintosh G5’s and Mackie HD2 recorders, 3 isolated MIDI Production Suites, and four audio-enhanced classrooms. The school’s wide ranging audio curriculum covers areas from surround sound and DVD authoring, to large-format console studio and mix sessions. The layout and design of the studios also allow for interactive connectivity between rooms, producing an all-encompassing environment for students and staff to help boost productivity and creativity.SAE has already become an important fixture in New York City’s thriving audio and entertainment industries, providing an important supply of audio professionals prepared for today’s demanding positions in audio engineering and production. The facility has played host to several key industry events, including the second of SAE Institute’s own Platinum Series World Tour programs, which serve as educational, as well as historical, interactive documentaries on some of the greatest engineers and producers in the music business, including industry veterans such as Jimmy Douglass (Missy Elliot), Alan Parsons (Pink Floyd), Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow), and Don Was (Rolling Stones). Unique technology events, guest speakers, panel discussions, and demonstrations from many of SAE’s Educational Partners and special event sponsors continue to be featured at this cutting-edge facility.
“Our biggest concentration since we opened our first campus 28 years ago has been to provide the most realistic and individual experience in the recording studio,” stated Tom Misner, SAE Institute’s CEO and founder. “We pride ourselves on being able to provide real training for the world of audio, and that means offering the most hands-on time on the latest equipment for an affordable tuition that students see as a real value. Throughout our program, our teachers and guest lecturers provide SAE students with individual instruction and guidance for a solid, practical knowledge base that will serve them throughout their career,” Misner concludes.
