What is an Audio Engineer?
Audio engineering uses science to design, analyse and problem-solve in audio production. It is a key aspect of modern computing, communications and entertainment. If you are technically minded with a STEM background, audio engineering might be for you!
An audio engineer works with the technical aspects of sound. They do this during the processes of recording, mixing, and reproduction. Audio engineers often assist record producers and musicians in providing the right sounds. For example, an audio engineer will piece together parts of a song, use auto-tune on a recording, and/or add synthetic sounds to a track. Audio engineers are different from producers. Yet, some audio engineers go on with their careers to double as producers or become producers. There are several subfields of audio engineering that one can become involved in.
