ASE is proud to be the only institution in Africa certified to provide training in Pro Tools up to 210 level and further. Pro Tools is the digital recording system used by top professional studios across the globe for recording and editing. It is universally recognized as the finest professional software of its type and has earned its creator, Digidesign, many awards including Grammies and Oscars. Most of the world's current great recordings are recorded on Pro Tools - some of the international artists that have recently recorded on Pro Tools include Black-Eyed Peas, Sting, Moby, AC DC, Ozzy Osbourne and Aerosmith. Pro Tools also dominates the post-production industry – eg the audio track of the latest Star Wars movie was produced completely in Pro Tools.
It is a remarkable but genuine fact that, if one were to look at the Billboard Top 40 at any given time, one would struggle to find a single song that has not been through a Pro Tools process at some point in its production.
ASE provides Pro Tools instruction on both the Windows and Macintosh platforms. Because it is the most widely-used professional studio software in the world, Pro Tools is, quite simply, the only choice for the student wishing to become a professional sound engineering.
International Recognition
When we say “internationally recognized” – we mean it:
ASE has for many years been Africa's only accredited Pro Tools training school (DCTL or Digidesign Certified Training Location). It is a matter of great pride for ASE that it was, in 2007, elevated to the even higher status of Pro School: remarkably, ASE is now one of only eleven Pro Schools outside the United States, making ASE a true world-leader in sound engineering training. Because of these remarkable accreditations, ASE produces South African graduates that are truly recognised throughout the world as professional Pro Tools studio engineers. As an ASE graduate, you are assured of a far better opportunity of succeeding in the international recording arena.
Every ASE graduate that has successfully completed the full Pro Tools 210 course is awarded the title 'Certified Pro Tools Operator', and his/her personal profile is listed by Digidesign on the Pro Tools international website, hosted in California. This means that ASE graduates are marketed to the world's audio industry by the most respected audio technology company on Earth. We can therefore proudly claim that better international recognition than that offered by ASE simply does not exist anywhere in Africa.
Practical Content
It is a simple fact that ASE's courses include the highest degree of practical content. This is achieved by way of an incredible amount of world-class equipment, smaller study groups, extensive on-campus studio facilities and ASE's close links with the industry (live and studio). By way of example, ASE is closely affiliated to AVL Productions, a leading production company that has provided technical services to several major tours and concerts including Korn, 30 Seconds to Mars, Counting Crows, Evanescence, The Mission, Danko Jones, Seether, Watershed and many more. AVL Productions not only endorses ASE, but also provides internships to the more successful ASE students. These interns are given the opportunity to work on major productions and tour and gain huge experience and exposure during the process.
The Finest Equipment of Any Audio College in the Southern Hemisphere
Above all, ASE has the equipment necessary to make it a world-leader in audio training. With over 120 Pro Tools systems, including LE, HD2, HD3, D-Command, two Digidesign Venue mixing consoles, as well as millions of rands worth of audio gear in seven studios, there is no other college that can begin to rival ASE's equipment list.
As an inherent requirement of ASE's Pro Tools accreditation, the academy is required to retain a prescribed ratio of equipment per student, as set by Digidesign. ASE students therefore get more hands-on time with the equipment. ASE diploma students are allocated enough studio time to undertake their own professional recording projects during their studies at no additional charge, and many students have graduated with several broadcast-quality recordings under their belts.
