5 Reasons Why Audio Engineering At JMC Is Different

Back to News

JMC Academy developed Australia’s first ever accredited Audio Engineering course, but why are we still the leading provider? Well, here’s 5 reasons why!

First of it's Kind!

JMC Academy developed Australia’s first-ever accredited Audio Engineering course

1. Collaboration

What makes JMC unique? Our students of course! With such a variety of creative courses all under one roof, our students get the opportunity to work together on numerous projects as part of integration projects within the course.

Audio students get the chance to not only work with music + songwriting students in our state-of-the-art studios, but you can also work developing sound for the film + tv production students films, design sound for game or animation students projects, and learn to work with entertainment managers for the business behind the industry.

2. Internship Opportunities

As part of your course, students get the opportunity to take part in a dedicated and accredited internship program as one of their units to gain invaluable experience and make new contacts. We could list all the amazing places our students have interned at (and many actually getting offered full-time work after their internship):

Universal Music Australia
Kiss FM ( Our students have their own radio show currently!)
The Base Recording Studio
Big Sound Festival
Acoustic Technologies
Brain Studios, and so much more!

"JMC has been a fantastic experience for me. Not only did I learn plenty about audio engineering, but I also learned so much more about collaboration. My favourite aspect about JMC was the ability to work with other industries; including FTV, Music, Animation and Game Design."

3. Industry Professional Mentors

Not only are all of our tutors highly experienced, well connected and accomplished, but they are also still working in the industry which means even more connections for you! They are all highly passionate about equipping their students with everything they need for success, and with their industry connections, can help do that.

Due to the small class sizes (Practical classes could be as low as 4 students to 1 tutor!) so the tutors know your name, your strengths, they see your passion and they can recommend you for industry work. Your mentors here are your first connections in the industry.

4. The Gear

Audio at JMC is a hands-on production-based course that is directly in sync with the audio industry. Our campuses are full of the best tech in the trade including high-end equipment and recording studios, fitted with 5.1 surround sound and all the latest gear, including Consoles: SSL Duality 48 Channel, Avid C24 console: Pro Tools HD, HDX converters Mics: Neumann U87, FET 47, U89, Royer 121, AKG C414 Plugins: Universal Audio Plugin Suite, Waves Mercury Bundle Outboard: Avalon 2022, Universal Audio 2x610, Empirical Labs Distressors, DBX 160a, AKG-c414…need we say more?
