There is a common misconception that an Audio Engineer primarily works in a recording studio with a band. Many think that there is very little scope when it comes to job opportunities and areas of exploration. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Audio Engineering world covers a vast array of industries and places audio professionals in a multitude of unexpected positions. Think about it. Every time you hear something come out of a speaker, a number of audio professions where more than likely involved. That is why it is so important for us as an audio training institution to expose our students to as many of those possibilities as we can. To move them away from this preconceived notion that success only comes in the form of a gold record. And a sustainable career is often found in other areas of the sound industry other than music production. Read more »

LA.VI is an upbeat alternative blues band fresh from their cross country tour and first ever gig at Splashy Fen music festival in KZN, It’s great to see a band with such musical vibe getting started. We first heard of them here at Cape Audio College last year, when they came in to do some recording with some of our first year students as a brand new band from Cape Town. We were all mutually glad to have them back here in studio.
This last week was the first year student’s studio recording practical held in the Cape Audio College ‘main room’ studio. Read more »

This weekend was a busy one here at Cape Audio College. The campus was teaming with people, more specifically interested prospective students, all here in the Waverly Business Park to see Cape Audio College on display.
The day was spent through tours around our facilities, as well as a very informative talk presented by Terrence Adendorff of Primedia/Kfm on careers in Sound Engineering, some valuable inside information on the radio business, and on the sound industry in general. Thank you to everyone who made the effort to come out to the event on a Saturday morning, so now it’s time to join our forum, and I’m sure it won’t be long until we’ll be seeing you back on campus as student getting to grips with the art of recording.
