Every one loves to hear music no matter whether it is live or recorded. During
the 19th century, several attempts for recording sounds were made in Europe
and USA. Though the mechanized reproduction of music can be traced back as far
as the 9th century, it was done most successfully by Thomas Edison in 1877.
He invented a machine named Phonograph which could be termed as the first practical
sound recording and reproduction
Audio engineering, a branch of Audio science, is a career for those who love
music and wish to be a part of this industry. Audio Engineering is all about
capturing sound, recording, copying, editing, mixing and reproducing sound
using electronic and mechanical devices. It involves both production and post
production tasks. Production part may involve everything from set-up
to the actual recording. Audio engineers use a variety of devices to record
even the slightest sound variations. Electronic mixing board (console board),
which contains variety of switches, dials, lights and meters, is a vital part
in audio engineering as it can control sound input while recording or editing.
In the post production section, the recorded material gets polished or "morphed"
into sound. Digital audio workstations, signal processors and sequencing software
are the other integral components used in audio engineering.
An audio engineer is someone with experience and training in production and
manipulation of sound through mechanical and digital means. Those who have
studied any course in audiography and sound recording can become an audio
engineer. They are responsible for the final sound that we hear in music,
i.e in songs, background scores in videos, films, advertisements and so on.
An audio engineer should possess a good ear for music and sounds just like
a journalist should have a nose for news. They may sometimes be known as recording
engineers and sound engineers, even though the latter are the persons who
develop instruments for the audio engineers.
Audio engineering is one of the most popular and promising career in the
modern generation that offers immense opportunity in the field of film, video
production, sound broadcasting and advertising both in India and abroad. To
be good in this field, lot of commitment and interest is required.
