Sound engineers may also be known by other titles, such as audio engineer, recording engineer, mastering engineer or audio technology executive. A master engineer strives to ensure consistency of sound across different playback formats and produces a master copy, which is a final, replicable, version of the track. You may also master the sound, which involves listening to the mixed tracks in a good acoustic environment and then working on the edited mix to refine and perfect the audio. As a studio sound engineer: you could be responsible for planning a recording session with an artist or musician, setting up the required equipment, recording each instrument separately and then editing and mixing recorded tracks, enhancing the sound to achieve a high-quality recording.Monitor engineers also work in live sound and mix the sound that performers will hear through a stage monitor system.

In front-of-house (live): you'll be responsible for audience satisfaction, ensuring that every member of the audience can hear the show and that the sound is balanced and controlled in a specified way.
