End of Sophomore Year; Sound Engineering?

Posted by Nimble - May 13th, 2013

Well, It's that time of the year again; SUMMERTIME!(When the living is easy...)

With the end of the spring musical and the spring concert right around the corner, I've gained quite a bit more time and am able to spend it writing music and playing vidya games to my heart's content. This year has been very interesting, both in musical context and out. I've started to think about what I want to major in the future and it seems like i've come down to two conclusions; composition, and sound engineering.

Now, I have no clue about sound engineering, but i'd totally learn if I could. Any thoughts on this one? I'm a bit undecisive as to what to start focusing on; I mean I still have another 2 years to think about it so it's on the back burner- but still quite important.

Before you ask yes, by sound engineering I mean stuff like people at Quantum Leap do.

you're 16, you haven't came to any conclusion yet...

Of course; what i meant to say are two definite possibilities/professions I want to pursue in the future. Doesn't mean i'm done with life at all. sorry if that confused you in anyway :P

Well I am just finishing up a 3 year degree in Music Production and Engineering.

Sound engineering is being able to operate desks in studios and set them up accordingly. Its also to do with microphone techniques and all the nitty gritty technical stuff.

Music production is learning to operate DAWs and achieve the best sounds and quality from stuff.

Hope that helps!

Well, I did read up a good bit on it now, which is always good.

"Sound engineering is being able to operate desks in studios and set them up accordingly. Its also to do with microphone techniques and all the nitty gritty technical stuff."

That's the beauty about Sound Engineering ~ It messes with the backstage stuff, and I love being a backstage person; also sound manipulation is definitely something I like doing. I'll have to research more into what is required of people in this field. it did help though, so thanks for it :3

No one at 16 (should) have a definite idea of what profession they want to do.

at 16 I wanted to be a professional basketball player.

Yeah, that's understandable.

I do want to stay in Music as a profession, since I love it and have been involved with it almost all of my life; and since I'll probably never be a big name in composition/performance, why not be behind the scenes? That's how Sound Engineering came to mind - That and me thinking about unique sound textures one day in class.
