Who is Recording Engineer?

Ok. You’re here. But who are this guy- recording engineer?

Let’s read Wikipedia definition:

“An audio engineer is someone with experience and training in the production and manipulation of sound through mechanical (analog) or digital means. As a professional title, this person is sometimes designated as a sound engineer or recording engineer instead. A person with one of these titles is commonly listed in the credits of many commercial music recordings (also in other productions that include sound, such as movies).

Recording engineers are generally familiar with the design, installation, and/or operation of sound recording, sound reinforcement, or sound broadcasting equipment. In the recording studio environment, the recording engineer is a person recording, editing, manipulating, mixing and/or mastering sound by technical means in order to realize an artist’s or record producer’s creative vision. While usually being associated with music production, an recording engineer may be involved in dealing with sound for a wide range of applications, including post-production for video and film, live sound reinforcement, advertising, multimedia, broadcasting.

Recording engineers operate mixing consoles, microphones, signal processors, tape machines, digital audio workstations, sequencing software and speaker systems. Commonly an recording engineer is responsible for the technical aspects of a sound recording or other audio production and works together with a record producer or director, although the engineer’s role may also be integrated with that of the producer.

In typical sound reinforcement applications, recording engineers often assume the role of producer, making artistic decisions along with technical ones.”

As you can see, It’s a cool job to be a recording engineer :)
