Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Hello, Hope I have posted in the right forum, I would like to become a audio engineer in the future and was woundering what the top things a audio engineer should know.

Posted April 27, 2019 depends on what you do know if you have no idea what they do but you want to be one then that seems sort of silly, you should do your own research but, If you already know the basic things that they do, and you want to learn how to do that and basic knowledge, thats when you take courses at a university or traineeship CPU: i5-4690k @ 4.4 GHz | RAM: 12GB DDR3 1333MHz | GPU: Sapphire Pulse RX 580 4GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 27, 2019 look up a sound engineers job description or something. or you know wikipedia: An audio engineer (also known as a sound engineer or recording engineer)[1] helps to produce a recording or a live performance, balancing and adjusting sound sources using equalization and audio effects, mixing, reproduction, and reinforcement of sound. Audio engineers work on the "...technical aspect of recording—the placing of microphones, pre-amp knobs, the setting of levels. The physical recording of any project is done by an engineer ... the nuts and bolts."[2] It's a creative hobby and profession where musical instruments and technology are used to produce sound for film, radio, television, music, and video games.[3] Audio engineers also set up, sound check and do live sound mixing using a mixing console and a sound reinforcement system for music concerts, theatre, sports games and corporate events.

Posted April 27, 2019 Generally just have a good knowledge of audio production, try to mix at home, teaching yourself is a very good way of learning audio engineering, ive done a few internships with/at audio studios and it can be daunting seeing all the equipment, but generally get involved with the field by learning plugins and equipment etc. also know about types of audio engineering (mastering, live sound etc.) also alot of my friends who are audio engineers self taught very often, so try making small tracks etc, just know about audio in general, if youve got any questions about audio pop me a message.

The most important thing you need is experience, lots of it. No amount of theory will even come close to actually doing it. If you can find someone who does it and tag along that will help a lot. also courses and education will not really help you get job, it might help you with doing the job, but in the end most jobs are by recommendation in the industry. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge. Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
