Audio engineering is a part of audio science dealing with the recording and reproduction of sound through mechanical and electronic means. The field draws on many disciplines, including electrical engineering, acoustics, psychoacoustics, and music. Unlike acoustical engineering, audio engineering generally does not deal with noise control or acoustical design. However, an audio engineer is often closer to the creative and technical aspects of audio rather than formal engineering. An audio engineer must be proficient with different types of recording media such as analog tape and Digital multitrack recorders and workstations (ex: Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Cubase or Nuendo) Computer knowledge and with the advent of the digital age it is becoming more and more important for the audio engineer to be versed in the understanding of Software and Hardware integration from synchronization to Analog to Digital transfers.
