<p>A variety of terms are used to describe audio engineers who install or operate <a href="Sound_recording" class="mw-redirect" title="Sound recording">sound recording</a>, <a href="Sound_reinforcement" class="mw-redirect" title="Sound reinforcement">sound reinforcement</a>, or sound <a href="Broadcasting" title="Broadcasting">broadcasting</a> equipment, including large and small format <a href="Mixing_console" title="Mixing console">consoles</a>. Terms such as <i>audio technician</i>, <i>sound technician</i>, <i>audio engineer</i>, <i>audio technologist</i>, <i>recording engineer</i>, <i>sound mixer</i>, <i>mixing engineer</i> and <i>sound engineer</i> can be ambiguous; depending on the context they may be synonymous, or they may refer to different roles in audio production. Such terms can refer to a person working in sound and music production; for instance, a <i>sound engineer</i> or <i>recording engineer</i> is commonly listed in the credits of commercial music recordings (as well as in other productions that include sound, such as movies). These titles can also refer to technicians who maintain professional audio equipment. Certain jurisdictions specifically prohibit the use of the title <a href="Engineer" title="Engineer">engineer</a> to any individual not a registered member of a <a href="Regulation_and_licensure_in_engineering" title="Regulation and licensure in engineering">professional engineering licensing body</a>.

</p><p>In the recording studio environment, a sound engineer records, edits, manipulates, mixes, or <a href="Audio_mastering" class="mw-redirect" title="Audio mastering">masters</a> sound by technical means to realize the creative vision of the artist and <a href="Record_producer" title="Record producer">record producer</a>.

In larger productions, an audio 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 smaller productions and studios the sound engineer and producer are often the same person.

</p><p>In typical sound reinforcement applications, audio engineers often assume the role of producer, making artistic and technical decisions, and sometimes even scheduling and budget decisions.<sup id="cite_ref-Huber,_D.M._1995_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Huber,_D.M._1995-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Education_and_training">Education and training</h3></div>

<p>Audio engineers come from backgrounds or postsecondary training in fields such as audio, <a href="Fine_arts" class="mw-redirect" title="Fine arts">fine arts</a>, broadcasting, music, or electrical engineering. Training in audio engineering and sound recording is offered by colleges and universities. Some audio engineers are <a href="Autodidact" class="mw-redirect" title="Autodidact">autodidacts</a> with no formal training, but who have attained professional skills in audio through extensive on-the-job experience.

</p><p>Audio engineers must have extensive knowledge of audio engineering principles and techniques. For instance, they must understand how audio signals travel, which equipment to use and when, how to mic different instruments and amplifiers, which microphones to use and how to position them to get the best quality recordings. In addition to technical knowledge, an audio engineer must have the ability to problem-solve quickly. The best audio engineers also have a high degree of creativity that allows them to stand out amongst their peers. In the music realm, an audio engineer must also understand the types of sounds and tones that are expected in musical ensembles across different genres—<a href="Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> and <a href="Pop_music" title="Pop music">pop music</a>, for example. This knowledge of musical style is typically learned from years of experience listening to and mixing music in recording or live sound contexts. For education and training, there are audio engineering schools all over the world.

<p>There are four distinct steps to the commercial production of a recording: recording, editing, mixing, and mastering. Typically, each is performed by a sound engineer who specializes only in that part of the production.

</p>

<ul><li>Studio engineer – an engineer working within a studio facility, either with a producer or independently.</li>

<li>Recording engineer – the engineer who records sound.</li>

<li>Assistant engineer – often employed in larger studios, allowing them to train to become full-time engineers.

<li>Wireless microphone engineer, or A2. This position is responsible for wireless microphones during a theatre production, a sports event or a corporate event.</li>

<li>Foldback or <a href="Monitor_engineer" class="mw-redirect" title="Monitor engineer">Monitor engineer</a> – a person running foldback sound during a live event. The term <i>foldback</i> comes from the old practice of <i>folding back</i> audio signals from the <a href="Front_of_house" title="Front of house">front of house</a> (FOH) mixing console to the stage so musicians can hear themselves while performing. Monitor engineers usually have a separate audio system from the FOH engineer and manipulate audio signals independently from what the audience hears so they can satisfy the requirements of each performer on stage. In-ear systems, digital and analog mixing consoles, and a variety of speaker enclosures are typically used by monitor engineers. In addition, most monitor engineers must be familiar with wireless or RF (radio-frequency) equipment and often must communicate personally with the artist(s) during each performance.</li>

<li>Systems engineer – responsible for the design setup of modern PA systems, which are often very complex. A systems engineer is usually also referred to as a <i>crew chief</i> on tour and is responsible for the performance and day-to-day job requirements of the audio crew as a whole along with the FOH audio system. This is a sound-only position concerned with implementation, not to be confused with the interdisciplinary field of <a href="System_engineering" class="mw-redirect" title="System engineering">system engineering</a>, which typically requires a college degree.</li></ul></li>

<p>An audio engineer is proficient with different types of recording media, such as analog tape, digital multi-track recorders and workstations, plug-ins and computer knowledge. With the advent of the digital age, it is increasingly important for the audio engineer to understand software and hardware integration, from synchronization to analog to digital transfers. In their daily work, audio engineers use many tools, including:
