This was SO helpful!! I’m returning to school to finish my degree in audio engineering and this gave me a ton of hope and ideas for my future! thanks a million!
Great video! And I agree with your closing comment, I've learned a lot of stuff from non-music jobs that have nonetheless added to my music tool kit. Thanks for being a great resource :-)
Hey cato Thanks for this video on your channel! This was really great information and relative for audio industry professionals today for sure ! Including myself haha 😄 It's been kinda difficult during COVID applying for audio jobs in a part time and full time role that not necessarily music or film related Just got my first podcast editing and mixing gig this but it's Pro Bono this 8s my very first series I'm working on but I'm treat it as a real paying gig and use the experience for more work in the future for sure!😀
George Martin was producing comedy and, I believe, some classical prior to The Beatles walking through the door. He seems to have been well prepared when the big wave arrived.
@@malachilatroy because it's that type of industry. You have to do it because you love it, and audio engineering can be so competitive that most people don't make very much money at all.
Yeah, essentially. I forget if I differentiated in the video between something like that, and convention center type work - from my experience the convention center work often has a dedicated audio department, so you might be more likely to only do audio with that kind of work, compared to a corporate A/V thing where you might also be working with projectors, video, etc.
I'd avoid anything that's live sound. Go for something like teaching, library or archival stuff, or you could freelance and just choose not to schedule stuff on the weekends. If you're freelancing, just keep in mind that with things like tracking music, a good amount of musicians might want to book weekends, since that might be when they have the time to record - so I might focus on editing and mixing services if I were you. Good luck!
@@musicgrynd There are sites that people use, like Sound Better and such. I haven't used those much at all, and haven't had much luck with them though, so I can't speak to them personally. I did the approach of getting into studios and such and meeting people there, and also going to events and meeting people. Over time, you build up a client list. Open mic nights can be a good one for meeting people, but it depends on what type of audio you want to do. Always working hard so you get those word of mouth referrals is so important too.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! And that sounds like a great way to get started. Good luck with the gig! Very exciting!
Audio sounds good on this recording :)
Audio forensics is the one that I find the most fascinating, but it mostly applies to the UK or US due to their legal system.
Oh yeah, that's an interesting point!
George Martin was producing comedy and, I believe, some classical prior to The Beatles walking through the door. He seems to have been well prepared when the big wave arrived.
Really great.
For starting out, any job would do. Just to get experience
Thanks. Great content in Our domain. i am currently recording a french version of a cartoon series in the English language.
This is great, so much in common. Beautiful eyes
I'd have you edit my LIveStreams but like you too much to put you through that. ;)
Lol, I bet it's not all that bad an editing job!
what jobs of those pay more money
You know, I think it depends a bit. If you're just looking or more money, I might suggest a different career entirely though, lol.
@@CatoNoise 🙄 oh
@@CatoNoise lol why you say that
@@malachilatroy because it's that type of industry. You have to do it because you love it, and audio engineering can be so competitive that most people don't make very much money at all.
@@CatoNoise i see😢 Can i atleast make enough money to be financially comfortable? Don't necessarily have to be in a the recording studio.
wouldnt corporate audio just be more like corporate A/V?
Yeah, essentially. I forget if I differentiated in the video between something like that, and convention center type work - from my experience the convention center work often has a dedicated audio department, so you might be more likely to only do audio with that kind of work, compared to a corporate A/V thing where you might also be working with projectors, video, etc.
Which type of Audio Engineering Job is best if you can't work on Saturdays? Which Audio engineering jobs have weekends off?
I'd avoid anything that's live sound. Go for something like teaching, library or archival stuff, or you could freelance and just choose not to schedule stuff on the weekends.

@@CatoNoise where can I find this jobs....the websites?
@@CatoNoise Where do you even start to freelance?are they sites for that or just things like facebook etc?
