Watch the Realities of Being a Sound Engineer – Video

Lately, I've had the opportunity to log some time in the recording studio. Let me tell you, I feel sorry for that poor sun-of-a-gun behind the glass. You want to talk about a thankless job? A Producer yelling at him in one ear, musicians messing up in the other. I guess he uses his third ear to accommodate the songwriter who is panicking in the background.

Truth is stranger than fiction, and this pretty much nails it on the head. Kudos to you, sound engineer. It has been said, it is better to be a king maker than a king.
