WBL: Recording/Mix Engineering – My Approach

To be a successful mix engineer I must be able to call myself flexible, efficient, knowledgable and skilled. To develop these characteristics I must apply some conscious changes to my workflow, work ethic and professionalism. Firstly and most importantly I must expand my skill set and be able to mix a wide range of sounds, implementing various techniques and methods. I must then create a base of work that is presentable to advertise my abilities to clients. This will happen naturally across my journey as I apply myself to a multitude of works. I must also create a professional image, including an online presence and self advertisement.

To ensure these changes occur, I intend to;

Apply my skills to a wide selection on genres

Apply learned skills from resources provided by seasoned professionals

Shadow industry professionals

Apply any skills learned from shadowing

create an online presence that is reflective of myself

create a networking base

attend networking events

 

When I reach the end of this journey I should be able to apply my abilities in a professional capacity and monetise my skill-set in a basic manner.
