SOUND ENGINEERING
“Tireless nights in the recording studio and still want to keep going?
WELCOME TO SOUND ENGINEERING!" “I prefer the sound of analog, though I appreciate the benefit of using plugins, which is great for processing individual words in a vocal, rendering reverbs, reversing things, etc." -Yoad Nevo
What does a sound engineer really do? A sound engineer also known as an audio engineer is a trained professional who has to work around and with the mechanics of recording, mixing, and reproducing sound. A sound engineer is definitely not the same as a sound producer, or writer, as they have to deal specifically with the mechanical and technical aspects of sound and music and nothing else. A sound engineer has to often assist musicians and record producers in such a way that their work gets the sound that they have been hoping to achieve. A sound engineer will be responsible towards piecing together different parts of a song, add some synthetic sounds to the existing track or even use auto-tune on a recording. The good news is that sound engineers with their technical capabilities can remain in sound engineering or even pursue a dual career as an engineer as well as producer.

“What separates audio and recording technology from other media courses is the depth of understanding you develop towards the properties and physics of sound and audio. Not only are you taught how to use the equipment effectively, you also learn about the technical side of things."
-Alan Joesbury, Audio & Recording Technology (BSc Hons-De Montfort University)
Can I pursue a career in Sound Engineering? Yes. A career in sound engineering is different from any other engineering that you may have heard of. This is a whole different ball game and highly satisfying and rewarding as well. There is actually much more to sound engineering than just sitting in a recording studio 24x7 and mixing sounds. Once, you are a sound engineer, you can explore numerous possibilities right from carrying out research and development in new technologies to shaping algorithms for audio signal processing, and creating audible sound for video game console manufacturers.
The Job Market The job market for sound engineers is expected to rise in the next decade or so. Experts from the industry have forecasted that the employment of Sound Engineering Professionals will grow by 9 percent from 2012 to 2022, which is as fast as the average for several other occupations. The growth in employment will not necessarily stem from the music industry but from other industries as well including radio and television stations, businesses, and institutions that seek to improve their audio capabilities using state-of-the-art technology. The job market for sound engineers in India is different from that of North America and here is a comparison of beginner salaries:
