I'm just about to graduate from an audio engineering school called CRAS, im going out to Dallas to be in this industry within a week, so it was really cool to see these control rooms, studios, and out board gear you guys have, love seeing a Distressor feature in here, great video!!
I loved this video!! The music, the studio, the people and of course the content. I've been trying to learn producing and engineering online but due to financial limitation I am just now able to have a little home recording setup. I can't wait to start trying to apply what I've been learning and videos like yours have been so inspiring to me. Thank you!!
So incredibly well made, loved the editing and the cinematography. I'm a musician and found this all so interesting, excited to watch your other stuff.
I came through from doing front of house in the late 70's, and who you knew was almost as important as your chops, if you had a good rap, showed up early, straight and sober, word got around. Many nights of studio tan and the sleeping bag in the break room. Commitment was everything, run cables, move mikes, get more 2", degauss heads, get coffees, sit in the half darkness for hours, just watching. Completely different these days
@@wdyd.series how long is a piece of string..lol The sound engineer market is saturated, has been for ages, you cannot depend on making a living out of it, you're better off having a Uber or something as a flexible main gig and mix on the side, it took a very good mate and legendary engineer 6 years to make it in Vancouver, which hosted some of the finest and most popular studios in Canada at that time. The job is to realise the artist's vision, you are that conduit, nothing more. I had a client who wasn't satisfied with his acoustic sound, so I plastered four piezo mikes on the walls along with the X-Y close mikes and a U-87 four feet away, that fixed that. That's your training and thinking outside the box you have to know. Stuff like that.. But reality is I'm older and irrelevant now, go out and make the mistakes, learn from them and move on... Stay humble
I work in a live environment, and can't justify the analog outboard gear these days. Very interested in opposing opinions from people that don't have to move around. Beautiful vid!
Thank you! The analog gear is definitely really cool and must be fun to use, but I can’t imagine using it in a live environment. I guess the flexibility of digital is needed for you.
Hey, I’m the creator of the show and I started right out of high school doing freelance video work. I’ve been completely self taught. I’m not an audio engineer, but the same things might apply. I suggest just starting to recording as much stuff as you can right now. Focus on projects with your friends that you really enjoy and you’ll quickly learn, and discover what you need to learn. Get a mic or two and begin learning audio fundamentals in a digital audio workstation. Reaper is a free one that you could use. It’s going to be a lifelong process, but if you really put the time in, you’ll go really far. I would see if you could also shadow someone or do an internship while you’re still in school and get that hands on experience.
Thank you so much! If you liked this video, consider checking out our other careers. We're also in the process of creating another season, so are there any jobs you would like to see covered?
Well, it is true that not as many women do an audio engineering as there is men, but why does somebody sexual orientation matter when you’re making music? I’ve been an audio professional for 38 years and I have worked with so many gay people throughout my career, I think that statement was inaccurate. Who you choose to sleep with should only come up if you’re planning to be intimate with someone. Your sexual preference should never matter when you’re trying to be a professional. So just drop it please. Nobody cares. We really don’t and we never have.
I've been and audio engineer for 8 years now. If you want to make money this is not the job for you. Currently looking for a profession that will make me 6 figures or more💔😕
Wow this turned into a liberal propaganda video pretty quick. Why do people always have to bring gender and race into every thing now a days. This is the reason these "issues" exist. Most people really don't care honestly. But when it's brought up very two seconds and has nothing to do with the topic at hand it becomes just redundant. There's always been women and queer people in music. People are just blind.
Do this job for the connections and not for the money and you'll have a great time.
Thanks for covering us and our space!
Thank you so much for having us! It was so interesting and way too much fun 😀
To all involved. This was absolutely brilliant.
From the music to the audio quality. And the film work
Great job.
Thank you so much! You don't know how much we appreciate it. And thank you for watching!
It's not a film. It's a video. Filming is done, when you load film into a camera. Videoing is done with an electronic storage medium.

That’s awesome that you’re able to start getting into it, just have fun and keep at it!
I never saw a red head audio engineering. So empowering now
Absolutely fascinating!!! Great work!
Thank you so much! Any other jobs you’d like to see?
Very professional stuff

Excellent video. Bravo!
Thank you!
Great video,! Very inspiring. The track at the video's closing made for some happy speaker movement here in my room, and just plain sounded Right!
You don’t know how happy this makes us! So glad you like the song and thank you for watching the video!
aww you all seem sooo sweeet! hope i can make it out to Winnipeg one day to cut a record
Keep it up xx
great video! love this, I learned about NFC due to Ariel Posen and I am glad to follow NFC now!
NFC is such an amazing place! and the people there are even better. Thank you for watching the video!
Love your Studio,s❤ Great content
I see the Ams Dmx peeking

It’s more about curb appeal than sound imo.

Really cool space guys!!
This is a super cool TH-cam channel that needs way more followers!
That is the kindest thing you could have said! Thank you! Are there any other jobs you'd like us to cover?
@@wdyd.series Foley sound artists would be cool!
Just got someone lined up, so if all goes well, we’ll have an episode for you!
@@wdyd.series awesome!
@@wdyd.series let me know if you ever wanna cover a live sound engineer!
Dialog editing is top notch.
I didn't hear any "Eh?"s
😉
Haha! Thank you
that's so cool! I wanna do this after high school, does anyone know how I can, or what skills I should start working on now to pursue this?

@What Do You Do? awesome. I do have reaper and do projects with my freinds and have some hardware, so I guess I'll keep going from there thank you!
@Aphiwe Skoti thank you I didn't think about emailing local studios I appreciate it!
@@nathax8174 Best of luck! We all believe in you!

Nice to see all the old gear. They are all in my Mac Pro. Next.

Yea its cool until you find yourself working 15 hours days and still earning less than all your buddies in sales and IT
If you love the job 15 hours will feel like 15mins
F working in sales , I'd rather do this than get told to F off

Because it's true.
I don’t think that being an audio engineer is cool. It is somewhat of a joke job just like being a producer is not a real job.
