SAE and NI Announce Inclusion Of Komplete 5 As Part Of SAE Production Package
pwhughes writes: Since the introduction of the SAE Institute Apple Computer partnership, which ensured a laptop for every entering Diploma student in the US, SAE Institute has worked with its industry partners around the globe to augment and update the Production Package by including coveted industry standard hardware and software. The total bundle has allowed SAE students to work on their own systems while studying and after graduation. In 2009, Native Instruments joins SAE by including its KOMPLETE 5 bundle as part of the package given to students.
KOMPLETE 5 is the high-end collection of 11 ground-breaking synthesizers, samplers, emulations, and a virtual guitar studio. Perfect for both studio and stage; this is the industry-standard bundle for serious musicians, producers and sound designers. KOMPLETE 5's instruments can be heard on platinum-selling records and in underground clubs alike, all over the world.
"This partnership is something we know new students will be very excited about." Explains Udo Hoppenworth, the Director of US Operations for SAE Institute, "Native Instruments makes great software and they've been a partner with SAE by offering student discounts, but now we 've reached a new level by including the KOMPLETE 5 bundle as part of the Production Package. Every student in the Audio Technology Program receives an Apple laptop, the hardware and software, and now KOMPLETE 5 - that offers an amazing level of production capability to our students."
SAE Institute will be further integrating NI KOMPLETE 5 synths and samplers into the audio curriculum. Instructors from around the US have been avid users of Native Instruments for years, and now that every student has the software in front of them during class, it will bring the experience of classes like synthesis, sampling and sound design into a new realm.
As part of the SAE Institute philosophy of hands-on training, students utilize their systems during class, and to augment their time in the studios and labs for projects throughout the course - just imaging the kind of homework they can accomplish now with the KOMPLETE 5 bundle!

pwhughes writes: Palo Alto, CA, January 2nd, 2009 – Euphonix, Inc. has announced that the SAE Institute, the leading provider of pro audio and multimedia education worldwide, is incorporating Euphonix MC Control and MC Mix media controllers into 25 SAE Institutes across four continents. The SAE Institute’s audio curriculum includes training on the world’s leading digital audio workstations to help prepare students for real world production situations. Euphonix’ Artist Series media controllers offer comprehensive control over Pro Tools, Logic Studio and many more software applications, providing SAE with unmatched flexibility in integrating MC Control and MC Mix into their diverse curriculum.
"SAE is the world leader in audio and creative media training, and we are very excited to have our MC Control and MC Mix chosen for their state-of-the-art institutes," stated Martin Kloiber, Euphonix CEO. "The power and flexibility of the Artist Series is the perfect match for SAE’s innovative teaching approach, and provides students with cutting-edge media controllers that can be used with virtually any audio or video application."
The Artist Series uses a high-speed control protocol developed by Euphonix called EuCon that enables simultaneous control of multiple applications and even workstations over an Ethernet cable. This allows SAE students to not only remotely access and control any workstation located on the network, but EuCon also enables the instantaneous switching between multiple Mac workstations – perfect for projects that require using dedicated audio and video workstations. Furthermore, the small footprint of the MC Control and MC Mix allows these media controllers to easily integrate into any studio or lab, fitting perfectly between a computer keyboard and screen.
Euphonix has worked closely with the world’s leading software developers like Apple, Steinberg, MOTU and others to deeply integrate native EuCon support into their DAWs to provide high-resolution, high-speed control over almost all DAW functions for an unmatched editing and mixing experience. The MC Control and MC Mix also support the HUI and Mackie Control protocols for even greater flexibility, at a faster speed and higher resolution than any other controllers.
“We are delighted to be installing Euphonix MC Control and MC Mix media controllers in so many of our campuses around the world,” says SAE’s owner Tom Misner. “Students who attend SAE Institutes learn how to use a huge variety of hardware and software, giving them the widest possible skill set to help them with their chosen careers. The EuCon protocol may only have been around a short while but has already become an industry standard, such is the calibre of these superb media controllers. Euphonix is a heavyweight in the world of recording and now our students get to see first hand why the gear it produces has made such an impact in today’s studio environments.”

"The Globe" Series of cardioid studio microphones are designed for world-class recording situations where sound quality and musical character is of utmost importance. "The Globe Standard" is tuned for a classic, wide-spectrum microphone sound ideal for instrument or orchestral applications. "The Globe Vintage" uses a different dual-diaphragm capsule providing a sweet and warm, vintage vocal microphone sound.
Both models utilize an isolated spherical head assembly constructed of brass mesh for maximum acoustical transparency. The large dual-diaphragm true electrostatic condenser capsules use the highest quality 6-micron Mylar film. The diaphragms are tensioned and adjusted on precisely-made brass backplates and sputtered with a special-formula gold mixture. This process gives a faster impulse transient response without sound coloration or low-frequency reduction and adds the ability to handle louder sound pressure levels.
"I gotta say that the Globe was phenomenal all the way around the sound spectrum...it had a satisfying, airy quality with very little coloration."
The internal solid state preamplifier of the microphone is a Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit, built using only the highest quality components. The circuit is designed to achieve the highest audio standards and provides a flat frequency response, high dynamics, low self-noise, and very low audio distortion of all types. "The Globe" should be used with high quality, regulated 48V phantom power. Rugged microphone construction and 2 internal shockmounts (one for the capsule and one for the electronics) effectively reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.
Applications:
"The Globe" is an excellent choice for studio recording of vocals, piano, guitars, drums, percussion, strings, wind and most other sound sources. "The Globe Standard" model is especially good for articulated female vocals and other full range lead sounds. "The Globe Vintage" has a warmer lead tone and is ideally suited for close male vocals. When used for vocals, close miking from 1/2" to 4" generally achieves the best results, so we recommend the use of metal or foam pop filters for pop protection. The fast impulse transient response, crystal clear highs and high SPL handling make it excellent for recording drums; especially for snare drum, overhead and hi-hat. It is also excellent on piano, electric and acoustic guitars, bowed strings, and brass instruments.
BTE Audio has extended its line of Equalization Algorithms with the PEQ4, a high performance digital equalization algorithm that simulates the sound and feel of the world-renowned parallel parametric equalizers. With its proprietary topology, the PEQ4 algorithm simultaneously achieves both absolute sonic accuracy and extremely high processing efficiency. Targeted at desktop and embedded professional audio applications, the PEQ4 algorithm will enable quality-conscious third-parties to incorporate the highly revered High-End Outboard EQ sound into their products.

VocalBooth.com™ Gears Up for NAMM after a Year of Tremendous Growth
VocalBooth.com™ Gears Up for NAMM after a Year of Tremendous Growth
-- As Recording Budgets Shrink, Demand for Less Expensive Quality
Recording Options Increase –
Winter NAMM – VocalBooth.com™, an industry-leading innovator and
manufacturer specializing in state-of-the-art portable sound rooms and
isolation enclosures, is exhibiting at Winter NAMM in booth # 4334 with
Eminence Speakers.
“We are finding that everyone has a similar need: a more
cost-effective way of creating a professional recording environment,”
said Calvin Mann, president of VocalBooth.com™ , of his clientele that
now spans producers and engineers to musicians, voice actors and
touring superstars. “So many people worldwide are learning what
our long-time clients have known: buying a VocalBooth™ is the solution.”
To ensure the right fit, the company’s extensive line of VocalBooths™
offer a variety of sound enclosures for a diverse range of
applications. After 11 years experience, Mann admits that the
varied needs for VocalBooths™ continue to grow creating unique projects
that have been rewarding from start to finish.
For example, the three VocalBooths™ they built for Madonna’s Sticky and
Sweet tour. “We were able create music performance lounges using
our VocalBooth™ as the foundation. These were staged in the
corridors of each venue where the fans could come, record short clips
of a selected Madonna song and use it as their ring tone on their
BlackBerry (sponsor of the tour). We put these VocalBooth™
lounges on caster wheels so they could go from city to city with the
tour.”
Guy Coleman, Director of Sales and Marketing for VocalBooth.com™ is
eager for the opportunities the NAMM convention will provide to meet
additional international distributors. “Our five year
relationship with the UK’s Dolphin Music and our other valued
distributors like Audio Chocolate of Australia has allowed us to take
the VocalBooth™ worldwide at an astonishing rate of speed,” he said.
“We are still working to broaden our worldwide distribution network by
meeting new, potential partners.”
