Introduction

5. WHAT IS SOUND (AUDIO) ENGINEERING ?
• Sound engineering deals with the basic
principles of sound and voices.
• It is very vast and interesting field as it
deals with the music, movies and theatre.
• Audio engineering consists of
equipment's to record, capture, mix, and
reproduce the sound and voices using
mechanical devices.
• This field is challenging but at the same
time rewarding as well.

6. WHO IS A SOUND ENGINEER ?
A Sound Engineer is the person concerned
with the recording, manipulation, mixing

PRODUCTION
THE 5 IMPORTANT
STEPS IN A
RECORDING STUDIO
TRACKING MIXING
MASTERING
PACKAGING
AND
DELIVERY

9. Pre Production is the initial stage in which the scope of
the project is decided. Once you’ve got some songs
written and rehearsed, either solo or with a band, the
next step is to get those songs recorded.

10. Tracking is the process of constructing the song
through overdubs – layering each individual
instrument into the recording one at a time.

11. Mixing is a delicate step in which a pleasant listening
experience is created for your audience.

12. Mastering is perhaps the most important step in
which the project is polished further to make it
sound loud and enhanced.

13. Packing your music means getting it to a deliverable
state. This includes printing of CDs and CD covers,
press kits, and encoding mp3s.
