Andrew Rawbone-Viljoen, an ex-graduate from our Cape Audio College Diploma in Sound Engineering, finished his time with us seven years ago, in 2004. We catch up with him now, doing well, and busy recording some great SA bands; currently working with Watershed and Macstanley(formally known as Flat Stanly). After a lot of hard work and continuous practice, Andrew now co-owns Digital Forest Studio with his brother, Jeremy, who takes care of the marketing aspect at the studio.

Organized by one of our students for his band recording, we let the students come in on the weekend, seeing it was one of South Africas best up and comming bands, who also happen to be bassed in Pretoria. We were all quite surprised when a producer the band had been chatting to pitched up out of no where to help re-produce the single, even more surprising was that it was Jaime Sandoval, the Berkley Music School graduate from Chile! We end this article with some feedback from Isochronous through a little post studio interview. Read more »
