In a recording studio, the sound engineer records, edits, manipulates and mixes a variety of sounds operating mixing consoles, microphones, signal processors, tape machines, digital audio workstations, sequencing a range of software so as to produce the kind of sounds required. Be it a movie soundtrack, a music record or live concert, sound engineers can record, mix and arrange it as required.
A science background with physics and maths is advisable, as you will deal with sound which is physical energy and work on a range of calculations, converting sound waves into electric energy, calculating a delay time or reverberation of the room and so on.
