My Current Skill Set

I still have much to learn. Currently I'm working on developing my skils further as an audio engineer. These first months at SAE I learned to control the desk and to make a recording in the studio. I realise that these skills are vital as an audio engineer. Furthermore I learned alot about the theoretical side of audio. This theoretical knowledge gives me a better insight on how audio exactly works.
For example, how sounds act in different envoirements is something essential I learned so far.
This kind of knowledge gets me closer to reaching my goal as I described in my previous blog.



The information and skills I learned so far combine really well with the skills I already had. I am now more aware of certain mixing techniques that incorperate knowledge of space. An example of this is: a longer predelay on a reverb brings the input sound more upfront. In the upcoming months I would love to dig deeper into mixing and mastering so I can be a future expert in this work of field.

Introduction & Career Goals

Afbeelding
My name is Lennart and I would like you to give you a perspective into my aspirations and goals as an audio engineer. My passion for audio arises from a deep love for music. I have a broad interest in different music genres. I've been interested in the art of music all my life. I love to listen to all kinds of different genres like: pop, rock, hip hop and much more. But Electronic Dance Music(EDM) and especially Drum and Bass, is where my real passion lies. When I first came in touch with this music it instantly changed me as a person and shaped me to the person I am today. This passion is what drives me to make an impact in the creative industry. I want to inspire people and bring the emotion of the music to the people. I want to do this trough the art of music production. For me this can mean; mixing, mastering music and/or producing full tracks of myself or for other people. My ultimate goal is to be a music producer who does all these three things combined. I know this is...

My Strengths & Weaknesses

To be able to improve as an audio engineer its essential to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. For me personally its the more techincal side of the audio process that I'm most comfortable with. I spend a few years mixing music so I think I know what to look for in a mix to get a quality mix. While doing this I developed a good ear which can identify what sound 'right' or 'wrong'. While what sounds 'wrong' or 'right' is really subjective there are still certain rules that apply. Knowing these 'rules' can give you a better mix. Though I have still alot to learn I think this aspect of audio I know best. In the upcoming modules I want to dive deeper in the process of mastering music For my weaknesses, I think there are several. First I want to become more comfortable with the inline mixing consoles. I'm still not really comfortable with the workflow of an inline mixing console. With extra studio hours I think this should be acco...
