Interested in music but not in performing? Audio Engineering school is the first step in preparing you for a rewarding career in music. Audio engineers control the technology that records sound for a commercial enterprise, such as a musical group, movie, or radio program. Audio engineers combine their knowledge of high-tech recording equipment with their artistic sensibility as they use technology to interpret the sound they record.
Modern audio equipment allows users to go past simple recordings and into cutting, editing, splicing and rearranging audio tracks. The full effect of this sound manipulation can be controlled by those with a solid grounding in audio and acoustic science.
Madison Media Institute's audio engineering courses equip students to work with such equipment with training in:
- Mixers
- Automation Systems
- Pro Tool Mixing and Editing
- 24 track 2"e analog recorders
- 24 track digital recorders
- Synthesizers
- Computer sequencing software
- Sound processing equipment
- Plug-ins by Digidesign, McDSP, Roger Nichols and others
Audio production colleges, like MMI, equip audio engineers to capture and control the sound of a musician's work.
