With current technologies we can professionally record instruments, voices, and anything capable of producing a sound with ease. In order to record sound we need certain pieces of electrical equipment such as microphones, soundboards, equalizers, and an audio editing program to be used by trained professionals known as Audio Engineers. With technology constantly advancing at an impressive rate, how will I contribute to the future of recording arts? Audio engineers are constantly adapting to more advanced recording technology in order to deliver the most satisfying sound for the artist or producer but in the most cost effective way possible. An excellent example of audio engineers advancing in a cost effective way would be the switch from analog recording to digital.

Editing went from physically cutting out sections of tape from a reel and splicing them back together, to using a simple computer program to cut …show more content…

As a future audio engineer I not only will adapt to the new advances of technology in the field of recording arts but I also plan on learning how to work with analog equipment to have the most experience possible with editing and recording.
