Why Being an Audio Engineer is so Cool | No Fun Club

In this episode of What Do You Do we meet Sierra Noble, Riley Hill, and Rob Hill as they teach us a little bit about what it takes to be an audio engineer. We go behind the scenes in the No Fun Club in Winnipeg and witness how cool the studio is.

Being an audio engineer is a profession that anyone can get into and anyone can start from home. There are free resources everywhere, but if you'd like more structure in your learning, there are specific schools that you can go to. Search up what schools might be in your area!

It's always great to be reminded that a career is not only about the money, but how much you enjoy it. You'll spend the majority of your life working, so try to keep that in mind when choosing a career. But also don't feel like you have to get it right the first time! Nowadays, it's normal to have multiple different careers in your life. So go exploring!

This episode was filmed on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Filmed with the Canon EOS RP w/ Canon 35mm f2 and Canon T7i w/ Canon 50mm f1.4

Do this job for the connections and not for the money and you'll have a great time.

To all involved. This was absolutely brilliant.
From the music to the audio quality. And the film work
Great job.

I'm just about to graduate from an audio engineering school called CRAS, im going out to Dallas to be in this industry within a week, so it was really cool to see these control rooms, studios, and out board gear you guys have, love seeing a Distressor feature in here, great video!!

I loved this video!! The music, the studio, the people and of course the content. I've been trying to learn producing and engineering online but due to financial limitation I am just now able to have a little home recording setup. I can't wait to start trying to apply what I've been learning and videos like yours have been so inspiring to me. Thank you!!

Great video, ! Very inspiring. The track at the video's closing made for some happy speaker movement here in my room, and just plain sounded Right!

[maplekaaa]

So incredibly well made, loved the editing and the cinematography. I'm a musician and found this all so interesting, excited to watch your other stuff.

[GingerDrums]

I came through from doing front of house in the late 70's, and who you knew was almost as important as your chops, if you had a good rap, showed up early, straight and sober, word got around. Many nights of studio tan and the sleeping bag in the break room.
Commitment was everything, run cables, move mikes, get more 2", degauss heads, get coffees, sit in the half darkness for hours, just watching.
Completely different these days

[aphiweskoti]

Awesome, enjoyed the video, seeing as I plan on Studying Sound Engineering. I'd love to see an episode on Live Audio Engineering too. - Great job!

[declice]

I work in a live environment, and can't justify the analog outboard gear these days.
Very interested in opposing opinions from people that don't have to move around.
Beautiful vid!

[mnretrogamer]

This is a super cool YouTube channel that needs way more followers!

[nathanfichter]

Dialog editing is top notch.
I didn't hear any "Eh?"s
😉

Also Why being an music producer is cool.

[nathax]

that's so cool! I wanna do this after high school, does anyone know how I can, or what skills I should start working on now to pursue this?

[sKLeTvM]

Nice to see all the old gear. They are all in my Mac Pro. Next.

[jamesdoctor]

Good luck finding a job in that field.. you’d have better odds winning the lotto or getting struck by lightning.

[Steviesour]

I've been and audio engineer for 8 years now. If you want to make money this is not the job for you.

Currently looking for a profession that will make me 6 figures or more💔😕

[nicefish]

Well, it is true that not as many women do an audio engineering as there is men, but why does somebody sexual orientation matter when you’re making music? I’ve been an audio professional for 38 years and I have worked with so many gay people throughout my career, I think that statement was inaccurate. Who you choose to sleep with should only come up if you’re planning to be intimate with someone. Your sexual preference should never matter when you’re trying to be a professional. So just drop it please. Nobody cares. We really don’t and we never have.
