SAE Institute relies on Yamaha Nuage and Steinberg Nuendo to train its students

This prestigious English academic institution has selected these advanced systems as the technological basis for audio production programs., cinematography and visual effects and video games.

Founded ago 45 years, SAE Institute offers diplomas and undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a wide range of creative media industries. Your campus, located in the English city of Oxford, It is the world headquarters of 54 centers around the world, among them Spain, and leads the educational network of this institute.

Training students with the most modern and efficient systems is essential to prepare them for their future careers., as highlighted by SAE Institute, and with this premise they have selected the systems Yamaha Cloud y Steinberg Nuendo as basic technological elements in the AV studies they teach.

This is explained by his audio production teacher Mike Holloway: “We teach three programs: audio production, film production and games/visual effects. Having them all in the same building means that there is the possibility of collaboration between students. For example, if those of game art they want audio, or film people want to edit or clean the sound, those in audio production have the latest equipment to help them. It is a really creative and collaborative environment”.

The campus has five fully equipped studios that provide students with the practical facilities they need for their learning. Steinberg Nuendo 11 It is an integral part of the Studio 5, which is used to record, mingle, master and design immersive audio environments Ambisonics, reproduced in a system Dolby 7.1.2.

Everything is controlled with a newly installed Yamaha Nuage system, which makes it easier for the student to use Nuendo in a fluid and intuitive way. Virtual reality headsets and DearVR Spatial Connect controller also allow you to experiment with full 3D sound for game design.

The Nuendo approach, both in music and in post-production, makes it a DAW especially suitable for all the programs taught at this center, and mainly within the modules focused on multimedia sound.

“I really like features like the ADR panel, which allows you to upload a spreadsheet with all your cues y, literally, run the session - says Holloway -. It's a big time saver, a very efficient way of working and makes the whole process more enjoyable”.

Besides, This system features native multichannel output for a wide range of formats. For Holloway, “Use the control room to effectively listen to how you want to hear it.”, whenever, It is enormously powerful. You can configure the outputs and let the software take care of the routing. Nuendo's capacity 11 “Rendering directly to Dolby Atmos is a big step forward.”.

Thanks to the Nuage system, This teacher points out that controlling Nuendo “is like controlling the software itself. They are so tightly integrated that they feel seamless and that has changed things a lot: you can touch the software, have your hands in its operation, which makes a big difference compared to using a mouse and keyboard. With the Nuage control surface you work much faster in Nuendo”.
