This is honestly one of the coolest jobs ever in my opinion.

I'm a mechanical engineer so I'm glad he mentioned his engineering background, which is kinda weird

I love how the audio is over-modulated on a video about audio engineering ... I am a broadcast engineer and he is too close to the mic.

I'm an artist but I don't wanna have to rely on anyone so much to where I can't do it without them so I start school for music engineering​ July 3 really looking forward to this🔥

everyone who tried to make a good sound, knows, how difficult it is.

I would like to go to college for this, but it looks super overwhelming

Degree: Not required Money to build studio: Mandatory

fell in love with engineering @ 12, been on and on since thankfully @ 21 im getting back into It. -DMG.

my dream job.

I just graduated from high school with an interest in recording and I am a drummer myself involved in multiple types of bands my school offered, but I'll be entering college with an unknown path. Any suggestions on what to do in college to continue this interest? I'm thinking of just buying the minimum (protools, fasttrack, keyboard, mic) and starting connections and recording people just to gain experience and knowledge of protools.

it's so true that there's more to a good sound than equipment; the people, the vibe, the ideas, creativity, energy, the skill, the talent, understanding and a trained ear for music ALL contribute.

Great video. Good for you Kevin...

@ 3:00 PT native recording: remember, to set the buffer size as low as possible, say around 32 ms. And for playback/remix buffer size 1024.

I'm currently doing my undergrad in mechanical engineering but it has always been my dream to be in audio engineering. This is pretty reassuring.

audio engineers are the best, obviously....love the video!

Very interesting video, Thanks for putting it up!

Very cool. Thanks for your post.

So true. When people start loosening up and relaxing, the takes go by a lot quicker, I've found. Making the experience comfortable is VERY important.

Diving right in....very awsome

I'm working with pro tools 11 right now and I'm wondering what plug ins you are using.

Great insight, thanks!

This is what I want to be. I need to know what steps it takes to get to this level though, anyone know?

cool man.. i am also in the same path.. having an engineering degree in communication now started own home studio.. run for your passion..

Do I need to know how to play an instrument to venture into audio engineeringing?

such a nice job

Thanks, that was really helpfull! and interesting...

I agree 100% the experience in the studio has to be as cool as possible and that happens when they make you feel at home. Some places because the engineer feels he is "bigger" than life, he looks down on the musicians and makes them feel uncomfortable, and that really shows on your performance! but when you feel at home and they are truly friendly then you perform full of inspiration. Millions of $ in equipment does NOT necessarily make you perform better, it's the warmth of the people there.

No real 'one-size-fits-all' answer to your question. However, this is somewhat typical of the path a lot of engineers follow. (Maybe minus the other engineering degrees, as in his case) My path was obviously different in the sense that I learned the dynamic of producing /audio engineering from sitting in control rooms with engineers for hours upon hours through many sessions over the yrs. Some people simply enroll in Recording school, such as Full Sail Recording in Fla etc... Also many around Austin area. Those are good but must be followed up with 'real life-hands on' studio session experience. I find that one will learn as much simply 'interning' under another established engineer. I'll try to send more links of recording school. D

what the hell i thought this was a day in life

hey cool video!

Must really love doing audio engineering to switch from a job that requires a masters from Berkeley to recording garage bands. I wonder if his salary is anywhere near what it was before.

that is so rad . engineering is the way to go , bros!!

Question is there any anything to control mixing console from backstage we have a 24 ch Yamaha analog and I would like to know if there is a cable or something to control the mixing volume from outside of the stage

Hi! Congrats!!! Nice video!! I'd like to know how to make my voice sounds like I were under the water, in distance, on the telephone, using a mask, high above the mountain , inside a coffin, behind the door, in a church robot voice.. etc. How to modifying the sound of the voice according to the ambient/atmosphere? What kind of software should I use? How can I learn to make voice effects? What name of the person who work with sound effects? I would like to learn all about this to improve my fandubs! :) Thanks.

Nice piece. Just one thing. DOE "makes" nukes. LM makes the missile that would carry them. Did he say "tape machine"?

Do you sound proof your room or acoustically treat it

What plug ins do you use

cool

Is there many jobs in the uk for this?

Me too i have political science degree and left everything and start my own studio .

supporting yourself as an indy artist

I wanted to be like Roland and have my own Neptune's Kitchen if you will.. I still want to do that somehow

I'm taking a class based on thisMy real profession is to be a recording artist if not I'm would like to around music that's I'm trying to be a audio engineer or producer also hey maybe I can get connected that way also.

nice level of recording. try to use 24 bits insted of 10. lol

What are the steps to get your own recording studio like him?

Can you be an audio engineer and record your own music at the same time? I've wondered if becoming an audio engineer could help me in trying to get that sound that I'm looking for when I record myself.

go to show that people when mechanical engineering degrees can be flexible. I have mechanical tech degree and find out that music as hobby has technical side in terms of production. more so than draw a picture. if make sense to make musician comfortable becuase if feel uncomfortable that feeling will be expressed in there music. sometimes musicians give off unconscious feelings into there music that not every one picks up on.

I like to record raw.. Just a mic and an instrument with just some equalizer and compression not too many sound effects, I like the artist to sound as natural as he can in the studio as in a concert

@connectEd 1:15 that is not (mumble). he says Stanislawski's

It's Otari tape machine not Atari.

Anyone know if you can make a comfortable living out of this in the UK?

what u doing its what is ma panssion and dream job bro incase of any hwelps i will garttfull thanks

I feel like this is going to be me. But with a civil engineering degree. Haha.

How's the pay in this career path?

have luck ;)

That part where the artist is complaining about latency... wow, that issue should have been sorted out before the artist ever got there

-Are you able to get the same jobs with a CERTIFICATE in audio engineering that I would with a DEGREE in audi engineering ?

i need an internship

Board outdated and demoted to paper desk?!?!?!?!

Almost like.. one of the core parts of physics understood by engineers is waves... and sound is made up of waves...

is this guy really using Pro Tools!?

yeah id like to be one, but im not a brainy, mean where I live, we only have so many schools and they these schools i cannot get into or consoder going to, I have a genreal deplima and thts it, nothing special, sound slike u gotta be an honor student to do this, i barley made it out of high school, i dropped out and went back, i look back on it and wonder if there was a point on me compleating high school......cuzz its not gettingme anything, even tho i went to school for twelve years to find out i cant do what i wanna do all becuase of a fucking test score, this world is soo depressing =, they need to make this shit eaiser to get into, like i am willing to learn it ba=ecuase i am intereste, i have a basic studio, but dnt know how to mix or master i just record myself, but dnt know how to do it right, and im serious bout my music and when i show people my recprdings, they will prolly think im some kinda joke becuase I dnt know how to use nor do I understand what a compresser really is, i tought my self how to play guitar when i was 5 ears old, i know i have ears, but I dnt have the brain of an I.U student nor a purdue student, harbor, etc......could someone here tell me the hole thow down and crush my dreams? cuzz im tired of thinking bout this and i feel like im looking into this for nothing, becuase im not an I.U student i cant get tht, just like i cant get a drummer, a band going, a girl friend becuase im not fucking vauleable enough to teach , cuzz the stae says im too fucking stupid, dnt even know why the fuck I finsihed high school for real, cant even go to colledge so wtf

i went from making nuclear bombs to bomb beats story of this guys life. lol. and they say wen u grow up you cant be all u wanna be.

the audio in this video sucks!

That band sounded awful
