Essential Skills for Playback Engineers
Hey there,
No matter how you're serving as a playback engineer...there's a few essential skills you've got to master.
1. Serve: Playback engineering is all about putting the artist first. It’s like life’s secret sauce - the sooner you realize it’s not about you, the smoother the gig goes.
2. No Isn’t an Answer: Engineer your process, and every part of your system towards yes. Because no isn't an answer.
3. File Management: Think of file management as changing your guitar strings - not the sexiest topic, but it can make or break your performance. It's the key to success as a playback engineer.
Want to know the other four essential skills? I share them on today's episode of Behind the Space Bar.
