Audio Engineering

Audio engineering is a part of audio science dealing with the recording and reproduction of sound through mechanical and electronic means. The field of audio engineering draws on many disciplines, including electrical engineering, acoustics, psychoacoustics, and music. Unlike acoustical engineering, audio engineering generally does not deal with noise control or acoustical design. However, an audio engineer is often more affiliated with the creative aspects of audio rather than formal engineering, most professional audio engineers lack a formal and accredited Engineering degree. Audio engineering is different from acoustical engineering, which heavily relies on the underlying physics and mathematics of sound waves and their propagation.
