The Life Of A Mixing Engineer With Jerome Renard

Jerome Renard, one of the world's biggest talents!

What is a Mix Engineer? Have we stumped you already? If so, then here is a hint: a mix engineer is also known as a sound, recording or audio engineer. He (or she) is responsible for editing, mixing together, adding different sounds (effects) and managing the sound levels and frequency of any given project, including music recordings and movies. The mix engineer must have a firm grasp on the workings of sound equipment along with the computers and the software that are used in controlling and synchronizing all the different aural elements that he is working with in order to achieve the highest quality product.

 

Jerome Renard is a mix engineer who is planning to move to Los Angeles after years of successful sound engineering positions in Europe. He is originally from Belgium and he interned at Sos-Recording studios during high school. After that he then completed a certificate in Electronics and IT and went on to attend SAE International Institute to pursue Sound Engineering. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Audio Engineering" with Honors.

 

Over the next few years at the studio he met and worked with a lot of artists including Frederic Francois, Lara Fabian, John Metcalfe, Jacques Duvall, among many others.
