What is a Digital Remastering Engineer?
Are you interested in using audio engineering software to improve and refine the clarity and sound quality of old movies, original vinyl recordings, reel-to-reel, or even 8-track tapes? You may want to consider a career as a digital remastering engineer!
A digital remastering engineer uses tools such as a limiter, an equalizer and a compressor and uses mechanical digital processes such as width mastering and width expansion, subharmonic removal, hiss reduction, click and pop removal and microphone rumble reduction.
Digital remastering engineers use an array of software tools to tweak and adjust the entire stereo mix of a song, all the while making sure to only clean up sound imperfections and to not add any new elements. The work is meticulous and requires a good ear.
