aight thanks =)
appreciate it

Nice thread, been looking for something like this 2 years back. -.-
Hope this thread keep growing to allow fresh graduates and new interested people in this industry. Was a student from LKW also but drop out awhile back.
Need some company to employ and willing to train.

may i know why u dropped out of LKW

Money problem.

ahh I see.
I heard's loads craap from LKW is it true?

Such as ?
Well the facilities for sound and audio students aren't that good back then. They even put you at shitty classroom coz they're arent any for us. But i heard it's much better now. Propably new class location too.

sound engineering is one of the course that i've looked for when i finished with my spm years ago, but unfortunately couldn't find any suitable course for me back then anyway, kinda think this course is lack of exposure in msia.

Hello all, I wanted to be a music producer, is sound engineering the right course for me? so far, i've found SAE Institute Malaysia only, anyone study there before? is it good? thanks!

im a sound engineer doing post production for film in MIG(metrowealth). In my opinion, experience are the most important thing working in this field. I'm a diploma holder in sound and music in limkokwing 2 years back.

Hi, is it hard? im very very interested in music, and i would like to venture it into deeper, should i go study sound engineer?

It depends on your interest. My advice is, don't study. Straight away jump into the industry.

Hi, thanks for the reply, even though it has been long time lol, anyway to jump into the industry directly? mind to guide? i dont have any contacts

i also have a difficulties to find a place for audio engineering.. currently im in my last semester to complete my diploma in electronic engineering.. i just wondering can i take degree in audio engineering even though i have no basic in music.. aswara look promising bcoz of the fee just around 5~6k for 3 years!
other institution that offer is SAE and ocean.. but no loan can help to pay for the fee...

if u guys have any info.pls share. thanks

hey guys... i am a singer in the Indian industry in Malaysia... i have completed my bba-majoring in hr... and now from the artist association i have received a scholarship to do sound and music technology in lim kok wing... its my crazy passion to pursue... i just would like to seek some advice and opinion...tq guys

Congrats to you on the scholarship.

All I can say is go for it since money for the tuition fee is no longer a problem. But if it's a scholarship to do music diploma or degree that you can choose in any college or university, then it's a different opinion.

BTW, the Diploma in Sound and Music Technology in LKW focuses more on audio engineering. Not much on singing or instrument playing. Just to let you know.

email me at ayem.mig@gmail.com . i dont mind guiding you. my pleasure.

how is the demand of sound engineer in m'sia currently?..

can i jump into the audio related industry without any experience? Keen to learn

If you have the right contact, you can jump actually. I studied in uni first because I started from 0 contact in audio related industry. Of course by the time I entered the uni, I already have the basic idea of what sound engineering is. Lots of engineers out there don't have proper paper qualification, but they get the job done, they started from bottom moving up the food chains, they have experiences, better than fresh graduates of course. But still, I am not saying that papers dont matter at all coz they do. If you have a diploma, it helps you to get into degree, to master, to Ph.D and so on. There is more to sound engineering than just EQ'ing a knob for a band in live concert. Sound engineering is as details and real science as much as mechanical engineering. You should have a look at AES where they do research on audio/sound/acoustics technology and scientific part of it. It's not just for music. If you jump straight into the industry, you might miss lots of scientific part in sound engineering, in case you have a passion to learn it. BUT, do take note that in Malaysia, so far most of the sound engineering courses focus on music production, not really into scientific part of it. You will learn acoustics engineering, but so little. So so little. I have yet to find a sound engineering course in Malaysia that really means engineering sound.

thats because in malaysia, you have to get your mechanical engineering degree first, then Masters specializing in acoustics.
