job description
Every piece of recorded music has the skills of a Sound Engineer behind it. You’ll take the raw materials of a song—instruments, vocals, beats, and effects—and then spin them into gold. In charge of the controls inside a recording studio, it’ll be up to your highly tuned ear to make precise adjustments that make a good song sound epic. You’ll work closely with producers in the studio to help artists reach their highest potential. When an artist records a live album, you’ll also be in charge of capturing the live experience to make the listener feel like they were there.
