Sound Engineering
It is the branch of engineering where
engineers work on the technicality of
sound. Technicality of sound means
working with the technical aspects like
Recording, Editing, Mixing and Mastering
of sound. Sound engineers are the heart
and soul of the music industry

 Recording
• the action or process of
recording sound or a
performance for subsequent
reproduction or broadcast.
Editing
• is the process arranging what's been recorded. 
Recorded performances are rarely played once,
full through. Instead, different movements and
passages will be repeatedly performed. Editing
is the process of selecting the best pieces and
putting them together into one single, coherent
performance. Indeed, not every performer may
even be recorded at the same time. 
Mixing
is the technical work of
adjusting sound levels through
the entire recording. So if the
piano track overtakes the cello
track in a recording of 
Schubert's Serenade, the sound
engineer can fix that during the
mixing stage. 
Mastering
is the last step in of audio post-production. It's
basically all the technical work that needs to be
done to ready a recording for distribution. Most
recordings include multiple songs and
performances, and mastering the recording brings
consistency of sonic levels and quality to them all.
Mastering a recording eliminates this. Mastering a
recording is also the stage where the sound engineer
technically prepares the recording to be reproduced,
manufactured and downloaded. The steps required
vary based on how the publishers intend to
distribute the recording.
