Forte! Technology for SAE Students in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, 04/12/24

We are thrilled to announce that Forte! is partnering with us to enhance our students’ educational experience! Their new intelligent assistant was created to revolutionise how engineers prepare their audio projects!

We all know that producers face many laborious processes before starting their mix. Tasks such as organising, cleaning and categorising recorded audio tracks in a DAW project can soon pile up. Many professionals have expressed that these time-sapping stages are the main reason to hire assistants.

Essential jobs, such as converting stereo to mono, stripping out silences and even just colour-coding instruments, are crucial when a big project is being shared between numerous parties. However, it is also time spent preparing and not working on the track itself. That loss of time becomes quite unpractical and troublesome – particularly if deadlines are tight.

Forte! Import has been particularly created to alleviate these pain points. Utilising new smart technology, this desktop application speedily takes on the essential legwork –  importing, organising, routing, colouring and renaming tracks – allowing you to focus entirely on the more pivotal aspects of production. It’s the perfect Pro Tools co-pilot, preparing your session for the way you work at mind-boggling speed.

Driven by AI-R technology (Automatic Instrument Recognition), this innovative tool understands the contents of any audio file presented to it instantly. This makes instrument categorisation super-quick whilst also being hugely reliable and accurate.

The software has been built by a core team of experts, including Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer and mixer Ricky Damian (Mark Ronson, Lady Gaga, Sampha). It has received early recognition from a range of big names in the professional audio world.
