What should I study if I want to work as a sound engineer in 2024?

It’s important to learn the fundamental principles of audio engineering. These include acoustics, signal flow, audio recording techniques, mixing, and mastering. A working knowledge of acoustics will help you understand how sound behaves in different environments. You must learn how to operate recording equipment, microphones, and digital audio workstations (DAWs). Being proficient in using DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro or Ableton Live is vital for editing, mixing and mastering audio. A solid understanding of electronics and signal processing helps you troubleshoot and optimise audio equipment and systems. This knowledge is especially valuable in live sound engineering. If you're interested in live events, learning about setting up sound systems, microphones, amplifiers, and mixing consoles for concerts, conferences, and other events is vital. View our available courses below, or if you need any more information then feel free to contact us to speak to our friendly advisors.
