AC Blog

Yay, the AC Newsletter is back!

I’m really happy to say that we have reinstated the AC Newsletter with immediate effect .

So what’s in it?

The AC Newsletter is a once a week round-up to keep you “in the loop” regarding what is taking place in our “back-end” lab, as well as inform you about new courses, shared tips and exciting developments. The future for AC is shaping up to be a very exciting prospect for us (and you), as we scale-up our offerings and integrate our unique services into a world-class portal for distance learning qualifications in the creative industry.

Pop on over and grab your copy of the AC Newsletter.

I’d also be very interested in reading about what YOU would like to see in the AC Newsletter, what information would you like? Feel free to post that in a comment below.

I had the pleasure of dropping into SAE New York and meeting up with Udo, the School’s Manager, who kindly gave me a tour of the NYC Music Production School, located on the 9th floor of the Herald Center, 1293 Broadway.

The area is unusually circular in design (in a good way) which gives the spaces a sense of fluidity, and the school’s equipment list which fills the spaces is impressive, (big shiny desks and gear everywhere). It was even better seeing students working in very small groups on musical projects, I even saw one studio with a 2 inch 24 track multi-track recorder doing the business, awesome, that old skool tape sound still alive!

Along with the tour Udo gave good conversation about what they get up to in the vibrant city of New York which I found really interesting to hear, it must be a rush to study in an area with such a buzz around you, both inside and outside.

New York (NYC) is a seriously vibrant place and the phrase “the city never sleeps” is without a doubt true, which I’ve experienced before.

Whilst I’m on the subject of NYC, I’d love to hear what you’ve found in town, including bands, clubs, venues etc, what have you seen?

I had a blast at MediaCampBucks07 which took place a couple of weekends ago, the experience was fantastic and in between all the learning and sharing there was some music production taking place in the thick of it. I wrote a summary over on my personal blog about the educational event.

As well as this Nuno was caught running around with a video camera and he kindly put together a short summary vid to show off his talent. We hope you like the style and you are set to be seeing more of Nuno’s work on the site in the coming months in the way of tutorials.
