Mixing engineers typically begin with formal training in a music background, namely a degree in audio engineering or recording engineering. [1] Degrees in other relevant areas, such as those in music, or any working experiences gained outside academia can also help; for example, mixing engineers specialized in classical music may benefit from experience in performing in an orchestra to create ...

Tod’s amazing work, especially in sound for music-based films, has set new standards and inspired countless peers and aspiring mixers. His work exemplifies the best in production sound mixing.”
During production or earlier parts of post-production, sound editors, sound designers, sound engineers, production sound mixers and/or music editors assemble the tracks that become raw materials for the re-recording mixer to work with. Those tracks in turn originate with sounds created by professional musicians, singers, actors, or Foley artists.
Sound recording and reproduction is the electrical, mechanical, electronic, or digital inscription and re-creation of sound waves, such as spoken voice, singing, instrumental music, or sound effects. The two main classes of sound recording technology are analog recording and digital recording .
