What is the difference between a sound engineer and a sound mixer?

Hi Parul, A sound engineer works with the technical aspects of sound during the processes of recording, mixing, and reproduction. Sound engineers often assist record producers and musicians to help give their work the sound they are hoping to achieve. Sound Mixing is one of the job roles of a sound engineer but now being treated as a different profession altogether because of the popularity that these professionals have gained through careers like DJ,RJ etc. All the best

<p>A sound mixer is <strong>RJ </strong>or <strong>DJ</strong>, they just mixes two or more sounds and fuses them seamlessly and suitable for presentation. A mixing engineer is a person who works with the sound engineer and handles the different sounds. For example: if the drums, guitars, bass, flutes, vocals of a song do not sound all clear and are not at the audible level, where some parts can&rsquo;t be heard and some are too loud and distorted, then then mixing engineer did a terrible job.</p><p>A sound engineer can record, manipulate entirely and even create new sounds of needed. He can adjust the dynamics and quality and of course, he mixes too, he/she provides the mixing engineer with the sounds which he/she records and/or makes.</p>
