With the introduc- tion of the new version, Magix representative Ema- nuel Hoisl came to give a workshop to our students about the new features of version 12. The areas of restoration, mastering and loudness metering were focussed on. Some classical features such as 4-point-editing were also explored. n Emanuel Hoisl explaining restoration features in Sequoia 12 Visiting the famous Wisseloord Studios n In June, we rented a bus and our students were able to visit the revamped Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum (The Netherlands). Wisseloord has re- cently been revamped by Ronald Prent and Darcy Proper. Students were able to have private discus- sions with both engineers, which according to our students, inspired them enourmously. Almost thirty years ago, Ronald began his career as an inexperienced assistant engineer at Wisseloord Studios. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most accomplished and innovative mix engineers in the world working for renowned artists such as Rammstein, The Scorpions, Simple Minds, Live, Within Temptation, Manowar, Alain Clark, Pe- ter Maffay and Clouseau, to name just a few. Before becoming involved with Wisseloord, Darcy was senior mastering engineer at Galaxy Studios in Belgium and at Sony Music Studios in New York City. She has worked on a wide variety of music ranging from re-issues of early acoustic mono re- cordings to current 5.1 high-resolution surround releases for Blu-Ray. Early in her career, Darcy spent many years as a classical engineer/editor and brings much of what she learned in that arena to her mastering. Thus far, Darcy has been honoured with 2 Grammy awards and 7 nominations and has won several TEC awards and Surround awards for her work. She has mastered historical reissue projects for such prestigious artists as Billie Holiday, LouisArm- strong, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash and André Hazes. She has also worked on stereo and 5.1 front-line releases for many talented artists including Steely Dan, The Eagles, R.E.M., Donald Fagen, Porcupine Tree, Peter Maffay, Toots Thiele- mans and Söhne Mannheims. We want to thank the Wisseloord team for allow- ing us to visit the studios and to give our students something to strive for. n Students took the bus to visit the famous Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum 183 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // EUROPEAN NEWS Index
